Pawan Kalyan and Anna Lezhneva announced their divorce mutually on Monday night. The announcement was sudden, but some folks in politics did know it was coming.
It's believed that Power Star and Anna have been living separately, on and off, for more than three years. It was in July 2023 that the first reports of their geographical separation emerged. Many believed that they would be heading for a divorce before the 2024 Assembly and Lok Sabha elections.
Later on, Anna came to be seen quite often in public with Pawan, especially after he became the Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh. Following this, the 2023 rumour lost its credibility.
As recently as in May this year, after his shoulder surgery, Anna wrote touching Instagram posts about being his caretaker.
In an interview in 2023, prominent astrologer Venu Swamy predicted that Pawan Kalyan would head for a 4th marriage. "That's just the way his natal chart is," he added. While approvingly mentioning the prediction at this juncture may platform superstitious beliefs, Venu Swamy seems to have made the prediction with total confidence because he came to know of PK's separation with Anna from his political sources.
