Entrepreneur Upasana Kamineni Konidela has defended her advocacy for egg freezing after facing social media criticism. The wife of actor Ram Charan responded to backlash by questioning whether women should be faulted for marrying based on affection rather than societal expectations or for determining their reproductive timeline according to personal circumstances.
Konidela disclosed that she married at 27, froze her eggs at 29 for medical and personal reasons, and gave birth to her first child at 36. She stated that balancing professional ambitions with marriage represents her right rather than privilege. The entrepreneur emphasized that egg freezing provides women with financial independence and control over major life decisions.
At a Hyderabad event, Konidela described egg preservation as essential insurance, allowing women to choose their marriage and parenthood timing independently. She and Charan married in 2012 and welcomed their daughter in 2023. The couple announced during Diwali celebrations that they are expecting twins.
