Sadhguru praised Ram Charan's wife Upasana for not having kids

At the 17th ATA Convention and Youth Conference Upasana referenced to her husband's recent blockbuster movie RRR and said, "I have been very happily married for 10 years now. I love my life, I love my family but why do people find it their duty to question my RRR".

She explained, "RRR is my relationship, my ability to reproduce, and my role in my life. There are so many women like me who would want an answer to this."

Talking about reproduction, Sadhguru said, "If you stay this way, not reproducing, I am going to give you an award. I have already announced an award for all those young women, who are healthy and can reproduce but choose not to. This is the greatest service you can do right now.?

He added, "This is not an endangered species. We are just too many. We are heading towards 10 billion in the next 30-35 years. Man is worried about carbon footprint but if the human footprint is reduced, there is no need to worry about global warming too. So, it’s good to see women who chose to not reproduce."

Upasana replied, "I would make you speak with my mother and mother-in-law very soon."

Sadhguru's comment has sparked a debate online. Here's what people are saying.?

"These are your elites lmao, these are the ones who're seen as a source of inspiration, these are the ones whom ordinary masses worship and copy," wrote a person on Twitter.

Another user tweeted, "That's why he is a SAD-GURU ... Absolutely sadist twit. #sadguru #sadhguru i pity those who follow him."

Ram Charan had also talked about not having kids. At a press conference, he was quoted as saying, "As a son of megastar?Chiranjeevi, I have the responsibility of making fans happy. If I start a family, I may deviate from my mission. Upasana also has a few goals. So, we decided not to have kids for some years".
