Allu Arjun And Ram Charan's 18-Years-Long Rift Was Due To A Love Triangle With A Bollywood Actress

The Mega family and the Allu family are the biggest names when it comes to the Telugu film industry. For those unversed, the RRR star, Ram Charan, belongs to the Mega family and the Pushpa star, Allu Arjun, belongs to the Allu family. The prominent personalities of the Telugu film industry, Allu Arjun and Ram Charan, are cousins, as their fathers, Allu Arvind and Chiranjeevi, are brothers-in-law.

The brothers, Allu Arjun and Ram Charan, had made headlines for their star performances in films like RRR and Pushpa. The cousin brothers, Ram Charan and Allu Arjun, also became the talk of the town when the former unfollowed the latter on Instagram. But little did people know that the duo had a tussle years ago, which led to them not speaking to each other for 18 years.

Allu Arjun once wanted to marry Bollywood actress, Neha Sharma

As per reports from the 2000s, Allu Arjun was once in love with Bollywood actress, Neha Sharma and wanted to marry her. Neha Sharma made her debut in Bollywood with the film, Crook, opposite Emraan Hashmi in 2010. Before making her debut in Bollywood, Neha Sharma made her acting debut in the Telugu film industry. During this time, Allu Arjun and Neha Sharma became so close that the former had decided to marry her. But their love was short-lived due to a third-party entry.

In fact, there were rumours that the couple had secretly married and went on a honeymoon.

By the time the Tamil film, Chirutha was released, the duo Neha Sharma and Ram Charan were already dating each other. It was shocking for Allu Arjun to discover that his brother Ram was behind the fallout with Neha. Arjun was totally heartbroken due to the linkup between Neha and Ram. Since then, the two brothers have not been on talking terms.

Ram Charan and Allu Arjun’s present bonding

Since childhood, Ram Charan and Allu Arjun, the cousin brothers, have had brotherly love for each other and have grown up together in Hyderabad. However, the love triangle incident in 2007 left such a scar in the heart of Allu Arjun that it led to the rift between the two brothers. Years later, on December 13, 2024, Allu Arjun was arrested in connection with the stampede that led to the death of a woman and injury to her son during the actor's visit to the premiere of his film, Pushpa 2, at the Sandhya Theatre. After Arjun’s release, Ram Charan’s absence clearly stated the ongoing cold war between the brothers.

Ram Charan once opened up about the rumour of his secret marriage to actress, Neha Sharma

According to a media report by The Deccan Chronicle, the actor once addressed the rumour of his secret marriage with the Bollywood actress, Neha Sharma in a television chat show. He said that as he was a married man, these kinds of rumours were hurtful. He also mentioned that his family advised him not to take these things seriously. Addressing the same, he said:

“I am a married man and such rumours can definitely hamper my marriage. As a husband, it is my responsibility not to bring in a situation where my wife would have to protect me from other women. Chirutha was my debut film and since then the rumours about me secretly marrying Neha and going on a honeymoon started doing the rounds. My dad had asked me not to take this false news seriously."

Ram Charan also revealed that his wife, Upasana Kamineni, wanted to know about the rumour of his secret marriage to Neha. He mentioned that he and Upasana were very good friends during the speculation of the marriage rumour, and she, too, knew that the secret marriage was just a rumour. Addressing the same, he said:

"Upasana and I were good friends then, and even she knew that these were just made-up news. Even after we got married, we made sure that this news would never create any problems for us. Upasana is now busy with her profession and she understands every bit of it."

For those unaware, Ram Charan and Upasana Kamineni, the vice-chairman of Apollo Charity, tied the knot on June 24, 2012, in Hyderabad. The couple welcomed their baby girl in 2023. On the other hand, Neha Sharma is still unmarried.

Allu Arjun got married to Sneha Reddy in 2011

Years later, after his heartbreak, Allu Arjun met Sneha in the US. Arjun was in the US to attend a friend’s wedding. At the same wedding, Sneha was also invited. It was love at first sight for Arjun. With a friend’s suggestion, Arjun approached Sneha through social media. Sneha, too, liked Arjun and accepted his connection request. Then, the duo started chatting and decided to meet each other again. After frequent dates, the couple became very close and wanted to keep their relationship a secret in the initial stage. In fact, during that phase, their families also disapproved of their relationship. But later, with the insistence of the couple, the families agreed to their relationship. The duo tied the knot on June 16, 2011. The couple was blessed with two kids.
