Telugu actor and Janasena party founder Pawan Kalyan's marriage of ten years with his third wife Anna Lezhneva seems to have hit rock-bottom as the latest reports suggests that the couple will apply for a divorce. Anna has already moved back to Russia with their children and they are "believed to be socially separated, though not legally." However, despite their differences, the actor continues to fulfil his parenting duties and is reportedly in touch with her and their kids via video calls.
Both parties are yet to make an official statement owing to their split. However, the rumours of their split made headlines when Anna was absent during Varun Tej and Lavanya Tripathi’s engagement last month.
As per Free Press Journal report, the Telugu superstar married Nandini in 1997. He was then in a live-in relationship with his co-star Renu Desai. In 2004 the couple welcomed a son Akira Nandan. In 2007 Pawan and Nandini headed for divorce which resulted in him giving an alimony of Rs 5 crore as a one-time settlement. In 2009, Pawan and Renu tied the knot. In 2010 their daughter Aadya was born. They called it quits in 2012.
Pawan met his third wife and Russian citizen Anna Lezhneva while shooting Teen Maar in 2011 and they married in 2013 and have a daughter Polena Anjana Pawanova and a son Mark Shankar Pawanovich.
Pawan has always maintained his distance from social media. However, fans were in for a surprise as he made his Instagram debut on Tuesday. The actor has amassed over 1.7 million followers. "Rise, face, choose..Jai Hind," Kalyan's bio reads.
Welcoming his brother to Instagram, actor-producer Nagendra Babu shared, "On the day of the birth anniversary of Alluri Sitarama Raju, who said that the freedom of the motherland needs hands and not words, welcome to Instagram my Alluri, whom I know, whom I have seen."
On the professional front, Pawan Kalyan will be seen in a big-budget film directed by Ustaad Bhagat Singh, under the banner of Mythri Movie Makers, the banner behind this year's hits Waltair Veerayya and Veera Simha Reddy.
Last month, Pawan Kalyan wrapped up shooting the third schedule of his upcoming film OG with Emraan Hashmi in Hyderabad. The film also stars Priyanka Mojan, Arjun Das, and Sriya Reddy in key roles in the film.
