New Delhi: Being in a relationship does not mean that you love your partner. That is why stars fall in love even after marriage. Not everyone is as lucky as Dharmendra, but here is an exception, they fell in love with a Russian model after two failed marriages. Russian model Anna Lezhneva left the country and came to India and was so impressed by her that the actor did not care about religion or society and made her his third wife.

The actor met Russian model-actress Anna Lezhneva for the first time on the sets of the film 'Teen Maar' in 2011. They dated each other for about two years and then got married on 30 September 2013. Anna also supported the actor in his political journey. Today he is the Deputy CM of Andhra Pradesh and a big supporter of BJP. We are talking about Pawan Kalyan.

Along with Pawan Kalyan's film career, his political journey was also great. Prime Minister Narendra Modi also praised him a lot. It is said that the actor has a big contribution giving the BJP a big victory in the Maharashtra assembly elections. The mention of South cinema is incomplete without his name, although before entering the cinema, his name was Kondila Kalyan Babu. He is famous among the audience as a 'Power Star'.

Pawan Kalyan is the Deputy CM of Andhra Pradesh today, but his personal life has been attracting people's attention, the reason for which is his three marriages. After making his debut, he married a 19-year-old girl Nandini in 1997. There was a huge age difference between the two. Nandini could not handle Pawan Kalyan's rapidly growing popularity and stardom.

Pawan Kalyan's personal life was shaken when the actor admitted that he was in a live-in relationship with actress Renu Desai. It was surprising because he had not divorced his first wife Nandini. Things got worse when Renu Desai revealed that they were going to become parents. After the birth of their son, Pawan divorced his first wife in 2008.

Pawan Kalyan married Renu Desai on 28 January 2009 and became a parent for the second time a few years later. The actor was happily spending time with his wife and two children when turmoil began in his life. According to a report on Bollywoodshaadi.com, they started fighting due to family issues. It is said that Renu Desai did not want Pawan to help his elder brother Nagendra Babu financially. Renu left Pawan's house and started living in her maternal home. Differences continued between the two.

Anna Lezhneva, who was his costar in the film 'Teen Maar', entered Pawan Kalyan's life. During the shooting of the film, they came close and fell in love with each other. He divorced Renu Desai in 2012. The couple then got married for the third time on 30 September 2013. They became parents to a son in 2017. After Anna's entry, Pawan's political career took a new turn. He became the Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh with the support of NDA in June this year.

53-year-old Pawan Kalyan started his own party 'Janasena Party' in 2014 after working for some time in brother Chiranjeevi's political party. In 2017, he had hinted at leaving his illustrious film career and entering politics completely, although he made a comeback in 2021 with the blockbuster film 'Vakeel Saab'.
