Pawan Kalyan, a prominent figure in Telugu cinema and politics, recently confirmed his separation from his third wife, Anna Konidala, on November 10, 2026. This announcement brings attention to his past relationships, including his first marriage to Nandini in 1997.
Pawan Kalyan met Nandini while attending an acting institute in Visakhapatnam. She was the daughter of a businessman, and they married in Hyderabad in 1997 when she was 19 and he was 26.
Within a few years, differences emerged in their marriage. By 2001, Pawan Kalyan was reportedly involved with his co-star Renu Desai. The dispute later escalated to legal proceedings, with Nandini filing a bigamy case in 2007, alleging a second marriage without a legal divorce.
Pawan Kalyan's legal team denied the second marriage, framing it as a live-in relationship. Their divorce was finalized in August 2008, with Nandini receiving a settlement of Rs 5 crore.
After the divorce, Nandini reportedly moved to the United States, adopted the name Jahnvi, and married a doctor of Indian origin, maintaining a private life away from public scrutiny. Pawan Kalyan later married Renu Desai in 2009, with whom he has two children. Their marriage concluded in 2012. He then married Anna Konidala in 2013.
