Actor Ram Charan’s wife Upasana Konidela says parenting should not be framed as something fathers “do for” mothers, arguing that basic childcare and household responsibilities should be recognised equally for both parents. In her remarks, she questions why society often credits fathers for routine duties while mothers are expected to carry the same workload without similar praise.
The outlets link her comments to a broader push for changing parenting and gender expectations. Times of India reports that she raised the issue at the CII Partnership Summit, where she called for teaching children shared responsibilities from an early age. It also says Andhra Pradesh minister Nara Lokesh agreed on the need for a mindset shift, framing the discussion as part of a wider conversation about fairness in parenting roles.
Across coverage, the emphasis stays on Upasana’s core argument: parenting is a shared responsibility, not a favour, and recognition should not depend on gender.
