Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister and actor Pawan Kalyan has announced his separation from his third wife, Anna Konidala, after 13 years of marriage, in a shocking development.

In a joint statement issued late on Monday night in the names of Pawan Kalyan Konidala and Anna Konidala, the couple announced their decision to part ways, while emphasising that they would continue to share parenting responsibilities.

“After sharing a significant part of our lives together, we have decided to part ways with mutual understanding and respect. Though our marriage has come to an end, we remain good friends and devoted parents to our wonderful children. Their happiness and well-being will always be our shared priority. During this personal transition, we seek your understanding, kindness and respect for our privacy. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has stood by us throughout this journey,” the statement read.

Who is Pawan Kalyan’s wife Anna Konidala?

Anna Konidala, whose maiden name is Anna Lezhneva, is a Russian national who met Pawan Kalyan while he was shooting for the Telugu film Against But in 2011. Anna appeared in a brief role in the film, and the two reportedly fell in love while working together.

After dating for around two years, the couple tied the knot in September 2013 under the Special Marriage Act at a sub-registrar’s office in Hyderabad. The couple have two children together, Polena Anjana Pawanova and Mark Shankar Pawanovich.

Originally from Russia, Anna began her career as an actress and model before reportedly venturing into business. She is said to be associated with hospitality ventures, including hotel businesses in Singapore.

Despite her international background, Anna has largely maintained a low public profile since marrying Pawan Kalyan. She completed her Master’s degree from the National University of Singapore in 2024.

During a question-and-answer session, Anna also spoke about her multilingual abilities, revealing that she can speak more than six languages, including English, Russian, Hindi, French, Telugu, Thai and Mandarin.
