Pawan Kalyan and Anna Lezhneva Announce Divorce

Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan and his wife Anna Lezhneva have announced their divorce after 13 years of marriage. They stated that they are parting ways with mutual respect and will continue to co-parent their children as friends. This personal matter quickly transformed into a political issue due to Kalyan's prominent public role. Political representatives and film personalities have been reminded that personal lives are not exempt from public scrutiny. Kalyan has faced criticism from rival political parties, particularly YSR Congress, regarding his marital history. YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has previously mocked Kalyan's multiple marriages. In light of the divorce news, Jagan has instructed his party members to refrain from using Kalyan's personal life as a political weapon.
