Fans eagerly shared various videos from the live-streamed event. One such video captures Anna, dressed in a blue gown, as she is called on stage to receive her graduation scroll, smiling as she accepts it. Additionally, a photo of Pawan and Anna posing together has been circulating online. In the picture, Pawan holds her close while she proudly displays her certificate.
Throughout Kalyan's political journey, he has had the unwavering support of his wife, Anna Lezhneva. She has been a constant presence by his side, providing emotional and moral support. When Kalyan returned home after being unanimously elected as the Jana Sena Party floor leader in the Andhra Pradesh Assembly, Anna was there to perform aarti and apply tika on his forehead, a gesture reflecting her deep involvement in his political life.
Who Is Anna Lezhneva?
Anna Lezhneva, a Russian model and actor born in 1980, met Kalyan during the filming of Teen Maar in 2011, where she played a side character. The couple dated for two years before getting married on September 30, 2013. Anna is Kalyan’s third wife and they have a son and a daughter together. Additionally, Kalyan adopted Anna's daughter from her previous marriage, Polena Anjana Pawanova, raising her along with his three other children. In 2017, the couple welcomed their first child together, a baby boy named Mark Shankar Pawanovich.
Many people admire Lezhneva for her love of Indian culture and traditions. Recently, she received admiration on social media for accepting and respecting these customs. A notable instance was when she was seen picking up her husband’s slippers while he bent down to seek blessings from an elderly family member.
According to a report by NDTV, Lezhneva is rumoured to own hotel chains in Singapore and has assets worth around Rs 1800 crore in both Russia and Singapore.
Kalyan’s personal life has been marked by multiple marriages. He first married Nandini in 1997, when she was 19 years old. This marriage lasted over a decade before they separated in 2008. In 2009, he married actor Renu Desai, with whom he had two children, Akira Nandan and Aadhya. However, this marriage also ended in 2012.
Despite rumours of separation from Lezhneva, especially when she was absent from important family events such as Telugu star Varun Tej’s engagement and Ram Charan’s daughter’s cradle ceremony, she was seen supporting Kalyan during his recent election victory.
