Actor and Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan and his wife Anna Konidala have reportedly decided to end their 13-year marriage, according to media reports.
The couple announced their decision in a joint statement on November 9, saying they had chosen to part ways through mutual understanding and respect. They reportedly said they would remain friends and continue to share parental responsibilities, keeping their children’s happiness and well-being as their priority. They also requested privacy during this personal transition.
Pawan and Anna married on September 30, 2013, in a private ceremony. Anna, originally known as Anna Lezhneva, is a Russian national and former model and actor. Media reports suggest the two first met during the making of the 2011 Telugu film Teen Maar, although this has not been independently confirmed.
The couple have two children together, a daughter, Polena Anjana Pawanova, and a son, Mark Shankar Pawanovich. Pawan also has two children from his previous marriage to actor Renu Desai.
Anna generally maintained a low public profile throughout their marriage. However, she joined Instagram in March 2026 and began sharing photographs and personal accounts of family life.
Her posts also discussed Pawan’s political journey, family relationships and personal challenges. She had previously shared updates about their son’s recovery following a fire accident in Singapore in April 2025.
The couple have not publicly disclosed the reasons behind their reported separation.
