(Source: Instagram/@upasanakaminenikonidela)When Ram Charan and Upasana Konidela started dating, the latter put the Telugu actor through a difficult test to prove his love for her. Speaking about the same, Konidela recalled how she asked her now-husband to take her to an iconic ice cream landmark in Hyderabad’s Fruit Market, aka Moazzam Jahi Market:“If you really love me, I need you to take me to Famous Ice Cream. It’s in the middle of a market, and he was a star by then, and everyone recognised him. So he said, ‘Okay, let’s go’. We went there and ordered ice cream on a date, and we had people banging on our doors after that, which was a true test of his love, and he passed with flying colours,” she told Curly Tales.DISCLAIMER: This article is based on information from the public domain and/or the experts we spoke to.And honestly, we get where Konidela came from.
