The statement, addressed to their well-wishers and loved ones, reads, “To Our Well-Wishers, Near and Dear Ones…” It went on to read, “After sharing a significant part of our lives together, we have decided to part ways with mutual understanding and respect. Though our marriage has come to an end, we remain good friends and devoted parents to our wonderful children. Their happiness and well-being will always remain our shared priority. During this personal transition, we seek your understanding, kindness, and respect for our privacy. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has stood by us throughout this journey.”

The statement was signed by “Pawan Kalyan Konidala & Anna Konidala.” The couple has requested the media and the public to respect their privacy as they navigate this personal transition.

Meanwhile, Pawan Kalyan and Anna first met during the filming of the 2011 Telugu film Teen Maar, in which Anna had a brief supporting role. The two eventually tied the knot in September 2013 in a private ceremony in Hyderabad, registered under the Special Marriage Act.

The couple have two children together — daughter Polena Anjana Pawanova and son Mark Shankar Pawanovich. Anna was also seen accompanying Pawan Kalyan on several occasions over the years, including family gatherings, spiritual visits and significant political events. She was present at his swearing-in ceremony as the Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh in 2024.

This was Pawan Kalyan’s third marriage. He was previously married to Nandini, with their marriage ending in divorce, and later to actor Renu Desai, with whom he has two children, Akira Nandan and Aadhya.

With their latest statement, Pawan Kalyan and Anna have publicly addressed their decision to part ways, while making it clear that they intend to continue prioritising their family and maintaining mutual respect.
