Famous actor Ram Charan's wife, Upasana Kamineni, is currently receiving a lot of criticism online after delivering a session at IIT Hyderabad. This all started when she advised young girls to freeze their eggs as it is a woman's biggest achievement.' After this clip started spreading on social media, she got trolled massively and also addressed the hate on social media. Read what it is all about here! About Upasana Kamineni During a session at IIT Hyderabad, Upasana Kamineni said, The biggest insurance for women is to save your eggs. Because then you can choose to get married, when you want to have kids on your own terms, when you are financially independent, I stand on my own two feet, and I earn a living for myself. This statement did not sit well with users online. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Upasana Kamineni Konidela (@upasanakaminenikonidela) Dr Rajesh Parikh, an OBGYN for nearly three decades, argued that promoting egg freezing is easy for the wealthy, but the procedure and IVF are extremely costly and often inaccessible for most women. He said he regularly sees couples endure failed cycles, emotional distress, heavy expenses and lingering trauma, adding that biology doesn’t adjust to career timelines. Another user commented, This is so tone deaf. She can afford to treat marriage as optional bc Upasana is indeed the granddaughter of Pratap C Reddy, founder of Apollo Hospitals, which is one of India’s largest private healthcare empires.

Her Response Upasana took to Instagram to question why a woman’s choices about love, marriage, and motherhood are so often judged, whether it’s marrying for love, waiting for the right partner, or deciding when to have children based on her own life and career. She clarified that she married for love at 27, chose to freeze her eggs at 29 for personal and health reasons (not at Apollo), had her first child at 36 and is now expecting twins at 39. This, she said, was her way of encouraging women to understand their options. Wrapping up her note, she stressed that she has always balanced her career and marriage equally, and that creating a stable, happy environment matters deeply to her. For her, both career and marriage hold equal value — and she alone decides her timeline, which she sees as a right, not a privilege.
