After TWO failed marriages, Pawan Kalyan finds love in Anna Lezhneva

Rise of the Power Star

Pawan Kalyan became a Tollywood sensation with hits like Tholi Prema, Gabbar Singh, and Attarintiki Daredi.

His arranged marriage with Nandini ended in divorce in 2008, with a reported ₹5 crore settlement.

While still married, Pawan fell for actress Renu Desai and had a son, Akira Nandan, in 2004.

Pawan married Renu in 2009, and they had a daughter, Aadya. But the couple divorced in 2012.

In 2011, Pawan met Russian model Anna Lezhneva during the shoot of Teen Maar and instantly connected with her.

Pawan and Anna tied the knot on September 30, 2013. They share a son, Mark Shankar, and Anna has a daughter, Polena, from her previous marriage.

Beyond acting, Anna owns hotel chains in Singapore and holds assets worth nearly ₹1,800 crore across Singapore and Russia.

In 2023, separation rumours surfaced, but the couple appeared together at a puja during Pawan’s Varahi Yatra, ending speculation.
