Here is some scintillating news for the fans of Cherry. Hero Ram Charan will soon tie the nuptial knot to his childhood friend and classmate in Chennai Upasana Kamineni, the Apollo heiress and granddaughter of Dr Prathap C Reddy, founder-chairman, Apollo Hospitals.

The engagement will take place shortly to be followed by the marriage by the year end. Reports said that Chiranjeevi family members and those of his brother-in-law Allu Aravind visited the Apollo Reddy family and discussed the wedding a few days ago.

Cherry actually wanted to wait for another two years for marriage but his father reportedly advised him to get married this year as it would be the most appropriate time. But what is important is that the mega star readily agreed to the upcoming dynamic hero’s wish to get married to his child hood friend and classmate hailing from a different community.

Upasana Kamineni is the vice-president of the Apollo Philanthropy and Editor of the health and life style magazine B Positive.

Andhrawishesh.com reported as far back as March 12, 2011 that Chiranjeevi had agreed to this inter-caste marriage under the heading that ‘Ram Charan to marry Upasana Kamineni’.

Once this marriage is solemnized, the Chiru family would be home to the amalgamation of three different castes like a Triveni Sangamam.

Upasana’s grand father, Dr Pratap C reddy, is a Reddy man. His daughter married a Kamma community man and gave birth to Upasana Kamineni. So, the bride must be branded as the Kamma girl. Chiranjeevi family hails from the Kapu community. After this marriage, the Chiru family would be home for Kapu, Kamma and Reddy streams. What a mega family, really?
