The couple decided to part ways with mutual understanding and respect after 13 years of marriage.
Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister and Jana Sena Party chief Pawan Kalyan and his wife, Anna Konidala, announced their separation on Monday, according to reports by The Times of India, Siasat, and Moneycontrol.
The couple issued a joint statement through the Jana Sena’s official WhatsApp media group confirming the decision. They stated that they have decided to part ways with mutual understanding and respect after sharing a significant part of their lives.
In the statement, the couple said they remain good friends and devoted parents to their children. They noted that the happiness and well-being of their children will remain their shared priority.
The couple, who married in September 2013, has a daughter and a son. Anna Konidala, a Russian national, previously worked as a model and actor and appeared alongside Pawan Kalyan in the film Teen Maar.
Pawan Kalyan has been married twice before. He married Nandini in September 1997, with the divorce finalised in 2008, and later married actress Renu Desai in 2009 before their divorce in 2012.
The joint statement requested kindness and respect for their privacy during this personal transition and expressed gratitude to those who have supported them.
