Ram Charan's wife, Upasana Kamineni Konidela, has fostered a pair of Asiatic lions from the Nehru Zoological Park in Hyderabad.

Upasana, the vice-chairperson of Apollo Foundation and Apollo Life, gave a cheque for Rs 2 lakh to zoo authorities on Saturday for adopting 'Vicky' and 'Laxmi,' a couple of Asiatic lions, for a year.


Upasana and Anushpala Kamineni gave a cheque to S. Rajashekar, Curator of the Nehru Zoological Park, for adoption fees and one-year care of the pair.
