The announcement followed a private naming ceremony held at their residence, attended by close relatives. Speaking to Variety India, Charan said the process involved extensive reflection and consultation with elders. He emphasised that names in Indian tradition are often chosen with symbolic meaning and blessings in mind.
Explaining the significance, the actor said the name Shivram combines the ideals of Lord Shiva and Lord Rama, representing strength balanced with restraint and devotion guided by righteousness. He added that it also honours his father Chiranjeevi by incorporating elements of his birth name, linking the choice to family lineage.
The daughter’s name, Anveera Devi, was selected to symbolise courage and divine feminine energy. According to the couple, “Veera” signifies bravery, “An” extends it toward infinity, and “Devi” reflects compassion alongside strength. Charan described the names as more than identifiers, calling them wishes for love, resilience, and character.
Upasana, speaking briefly after the ceremony, said caring for twins has been both joyful and demanding. She noted that seeing all three of her children together has been an emotional experience and credited her husband for being actively involved at home, particularly in caring for their elder daughter.
The couple, married since June 2012, have largely kept their family life private despite intense public interest. News of the twins’ names quickly gained traction online, coinciding with renewed attention on Charan’s professional commitments, including choreography work for his upcoming film Peddi.
Industry observers note that celebrity baby announcements often generate widespread public engagement, especially when accompanied by cultural or symbolic narratives. For Charan, whose career spans major commercial successes, the announcement blends personal milestone with public fascination.
Family sources say both children and mother are in good health. The couple has not indicated whether they plan further public appearances with the newborns, stating only that they intend to focus on family time in the coming weeks.
