The Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister and his wife have decided to part ways with mutual respect.
Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister and actor Pawan Kalyan and his wife, Anna Konidala, have announced their decision to separate, according to The Indian Express. The couple issued a joint statement saying they decided to part ways with mutual understanding and respect after sharing a significant portion of their lives.
The statement, which was shared by the Jana Sena party, noted that while the marriage has ended, they remain good friends and devoted parents. They stated that the happiness and well-being of their children will always be their shared priority. The couple also requested privacy and kindness during this personal transition.
According to reports by Deccan Herald, the couple has filed a petition in the Family Court for a divorce through mutual consent. While rumours of marital discord appeared in 2023, Anna Konidala had previously appeared at political and family events with Kalyan. She deactivated her Instagram account shortly before the announcement was made.
Kalyan and Anna, a Russian citizen, married in 2013 and have two children, Polena Anjana Pawanova and Mark Shankar Pawanovich. This is the third marriage for the actor-turned-politician, who was previously married to Nandini in 1997 and Renu Desai in 2009.
