Ram Charan And Upasana Kamineni Welcome A Baby Girl. Chiranjeevi Spotted At Hospital

New Delhi: Actor Ram Charan and wife Upasana Kamineni welcomed their first child, a daughter, this morning in Hyderabad. Mother and baby are both doing well. A medical bulletin released by Apollo Hospital in Hyderabad announced the birth of the baby. The statement reads: "Upasana Kamineni Konidela and Ram Charan Konidela had a baby girl on 20th June 2023 at Apollo Hospital, Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad. Both the baby and mother are doing well." Ram Charan's father, superstar Chiranjeevi, and family visited the new parents in hospital today to welcome the new arrival. An official announcement from the new parents and family is awaited.

Yesterday, video surfaced of Upasana Kamineni and Ram Charan at the Hyderabad hospital prompting speculation that the baby was to arrive soon.

Ram Charan and Upasana Kamineni married in 2012 and announced the pregnancy last December. Upasana has since spoken about why the couple waited to start a family instead of rushing into parenthood. She also recently revealed that she and Ram Charan would be moving in with his parents, Chiranjeevi and wife Surekha, after the baby's birth. “We both were brought up in a setup where our grandparents played a huge role in our upbringing. We don't want to deprive our child of that joy,” said Upasana in an interview with ETimes.

Ram Charan has had an incredible year professionally as one of the two stars of SS Rajamouli's blockbuster period drama RRR. RRR won an Oscar and Golden Globe for the song Naatu Naatu and Upasana accompanied her husband to both award ceremonies.

Ram Charan's next film is Game Changer, co-starring Kiara Advani.

Small submersible tourist vessel on dive to Titanic wreck goes missing, search under way: Reports

It was not known if any tourists were onboard. The Guardian newspaper reports there were five people on the vessel.

Wreckage of RMS Titanic.

WASHINGTON: A submersible vessel used to take tourists to see the wreckage of the Titanic in the North Atlantic has gone missing, triggering a search-and-rescue operation, media reports said Monday.

It was not immediately known how many people are on the vessel, operated by a company called OceanGate Expeditions.

The US Coast Guard did not respond to AFP requests for comment but other news organizations including the BBC and The New York Times quoted it as saying a search operation for the missing vessel has been launched.

On its website the company says an expedition to the Titanic site was "currently underway."

In a statement quoted by CBS News and others, OceanGate Expeditions said: "Our entire focus is on the crewmembers in the submersible and their families."

It was not known if any tourists were onboard.

The Guardian newspaper said there were five people on the vessel.

OceanGate was not immediately reachable.

In the statement it added that it was "deeply thankful for the extensive assistance we have received from several government agencies and deep sea companies in our efforts to reestablish contact with the submersible."

The Titanic hit an iceberg and sank in 1912 during its maiden voyage from England to New York with 2,224 passengers and crew on board. More than 1,500 people died in the tragedy.

The wreckage is in two main pieces 400 miles off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada, under 12,500 feet (3,800 meters) of water. It was found in 1985 and remains a source of fascination and a lure for nautical experts and underwater tourists.
