The wives of our older generation super stars like Chiranjeevi, Balakrishna, Venkatesh and Nagarjuna were conventional and relished in their duties as housewives.
Amala Akkineni was an exception in that she started ‘Blue Cross’ foundation for animal rights. But the younger generation is different and women don’t just restrict themselves to their homes anywhere.
Mahesh Babu’s wife Namrata Shirodkar is overseeing all aspects of Mahesh’s career. From designing and constructing a house to Mahesh’s taste to looking after the publicity, schedules and production aspects of his films, Namrata is indeed a far car from the older set.
That she manages to do all this while bringing up their two children is indeed truly remarkable. She epitomizes the new age woman perfectly.
Proceeding on similar lines is Upasana Kamineni, wife of Ram Charan Konidela. Upasana has already worked on the board of Kamineni Hospitals before becoming the daughter-in-law of Chiru.
She is now completely involved with looking after Ram Charan’s career and even had his PRO replaced. It was Upasana who organized the 60th birthday celebrations of Chiru. Not bad going girls!
