“Dad has been an actor for 41 years, obviously he has an opinion, and it’s pretty strong sometimes,” says Ram CharanActor Ram Charan, who is currently celebrating RRR’s big win at the Golden Globes, attended a video interview as part of Celebrity host David Poland's ‘DP/30 Series.' In the course of the interview, Charan spilled the beans on the kind of conversations he has with his father, Megastar Chiranjeevi, over the dinner table, and why sometimes, his wife is surprised by them During the conversation, Charan revealed his father is intensely focused on his physical appearance. He said, “Dad has been an actor for 41 years, obviously he has an opinion, and it’s pretty strong sometimes. When you’re slightly out of shape… Like my wife used to be surprised when we used to sit at the dining table, and my dad would say, 'I think you’ve lost weight,' and I’m like, ‘Yes, dad…,’ and he’s like, ‘I was just fooling around, idiot, you’ve put on so much weight, what the hell are you doing? Get to the gym.’ And my wife was like, ‘Isn’t that physically derogatory?,’ and I told her, ‘That’s how actors talk.’ (sic).”David Poland further asked him whether he always wanted to be an actor, to which the ‘RRR’ star replied, “My father is a conservative person, who insisted that I complete my education before deciding if I want to join the film industry. But soon, it became clear that I was only delaying the inevitable. As usual, my academics weren’t going so great, and the dean of my college called my dad and said, ‘I don’t think you should waste my time and your son’s time, let him go to whatever college and do what he wants.’ That’s when I shifted and went to acting schools, and started my journey there. (sic).”At present, Charan relishes a great time, both professionally and personally. The actor who has a busy 2023, and 2024, with six films in his kitty, will soon embrace fatherhood. Married in 2012, the RC15 actor and his wife Upasana Kamineni Konidela announced their pregnancy in December 2022.Also Read: ‘RRR’ Actor Says He Has Signed Six Projects
