Hyderabad: Fans of actor-politician Pawan Kalyan were shell-shocked and expressed disappointment following reports that the actor and his wife, Anna Konidela, have decided to separate.
The couple reportedly announced their decision on Monday night, stating that they had mutually agreed to part ways.
Pawan Kalyan first met Anna Konidela (formerly Anna Lezhneva) during the shooting of the film ‘Teen Maar’ in 2011. The actor married Anna, a Russian national, in Hyderabad in 2013 under the Special Marriage Act after divorcing his second wife, Renu Desai.
