Dr Reddy, the founder of renowned Apollo Hospitals and a trailblazing cardiologist, was honored with the Padma Bhushan and Padma Vibhushan for his significant contributions to healthcare in India. Upasana's visit was accompanied by Preetha Reddy, Executive Vice Chairperson of Apollo Hospitals and a member of the founding family. In her social media post, Upasana expressed gratitude towards Dr Reddy, her maternal grandfather, crediting him as her \"ultimate strength\". She also extended birthday wishes to Preetha Reddy, adding a touch of devotion with the phrase \"Govinda Govindaaa\", invoking Lord Venkateswara. Apollo Hospitals, under Upasana's direction as Director – Projects, is set to expand its operations, with an estimated investment of Rs 8,600 crore. Upasana's influence extends beyond the film industry, as she has carved a niche for herself in the business and healthcare sectors, including her roles as an Independent Director at Zydus Group and a board member at Apollo 24/7.",
