Dad Chiranjeevi’s upbringing was correct because I am able to pay my EMIs

• Ram Charan credits his father Chiranjeevi for keeping him grounded and managing his bills.
• He has an elder sister named Sushmita and a younger sister named Srija.
• His film RRR has been nominated for an Oscar for Best Original Song.

Ram Charan recalled how his father Chiranjeevi raised him and his siblings in a way that prevented them from becoming stars in their own right or being influenced by them. The actor said that he is able to apply his father’s ways and manage his finances by making on-time EMI payments because of his father’s choice of upbringing. Srija and Sushmita are Ram’s younger and older sisters, respectively.

With the release of SS Rajamouli’s blockbuster Telugu movie RRR last year, the actor and the movie both gained international recognition. The film was nominated for an Oscar for Best Original Song. Together with his co-star Jr. NTR and director Rajamouli, Ram is now promoting the movie in the US in front of the 95th Academy Awards on March 12. The actor, who is a household name, hasn’t let fame get to him, as he explained how much his father struggled to give him and his two siblings a typical life.

Ram recently discussed how his father kept his family life free from any impacts from being a movie star in an interview with Sam Fragoso for his Talk Easy podcast. He remembered, “When I was a child, all of my father’s accolades and movie magazines were kept in the office below our home. By accident, if I went into the office to get some stationery and came home with any of his photos, there were no magazines or images of fan art in our home. A well-known Indian artist created a painting of himself, but even that didn’t come into our home since the artist didn’t want the influence of his work to be felt there.”

Said he, “He thought the profession was very alluring and beautiful, and he wanted us to be as normal as possible. He didn’t want us to be aware of our famous father or to assume that everything would be simple for us. Anything he did was proper because because to his upbringing and the way he was, I am still able to make my mortgage payments, maintain my business, and do well.”

RC 15, directed by Shankar, will debut its first trailer on March 27. This was recently reported by producer Dil Raju. The actor, who turns 38 later this month, co-stars in the untitled movie with Kiara Advani.
