Ram Charan receives roaring welcome at Delhi airport after Naatu Naatu Oscar win

Ram Charan, his wife Upasana Kamineni, and their dog landed at the New Delhi airport on Friday. They returned from the US after RRR's hit single Naatu Naatu bagged an Oscar in the Best Original Song category. The actor received a warm welcome from friends, family members and the fans.

As soon as Ram Charan arrived, everyone welcomed him with saafis (white traditional stole) and garlands. The Magadheera actor sported a grey T-shirt teamed with black joggers and a blue jacket. He completed his look with black sunglasses. His wife Upasana, who is pregnant, opted for an all-black look. 

While interacting with the media, Ram Charan said, "I am pleased and happy. Thank you, everyone. We are proud of MM Keeravani, SS Rajamouli and Chandrabose. Because of their hard work, we went to the red carpet and brought Oscar for India."

"I thank all the fans and people from North to South and East to West parts of India for watching RRR & making the Naatu Naatu song superhit. Naatu Naatu was not our song it was the song of the people of India. It gave us an avenue for the Oscars," he added.
