On her birthday on July 21, Tollywood actor Ram Charan's wife and superstar K. Chiranjeevi's daughter-in-law, Upasana Kamineni Konidela, adopted an elephant. Rani, the elephant, from the Nehru Zoological Park (NZP) in Hyderabad, has been adopted for a period of one year. Upasana, who is also Vice Chairperson of Apollo Foundation & Apollo Life and owner and editor of 'B-Positive' health and lifestyle magazine, donated Rs 5 lakh to NZP Curator N. Kshitija.

The curator thanked her for adopting 'Rani' for one year, thereby strengthening the wildlife conservation programme of the Zoo. She hoped that her gesture would inspire many to come forward to adopt animals of the NZP during the COVID-19 pandemic.
