couple is blessed with two children, a son named Akira Nandan born in
2004, and a baby girl named Aadhya born in 2010. Pawan Kalyan's favorite
director is Akira Kurosawa and hence he named his son after him as
Akira Nandan. His wife Renu Desai is an Actress and a Costume designer
for most of his films.The year’s biggest Tollywood wedding was witnessed by just a handful. Deccan Chronicle can confirm that Tollywood star Pawan Kalyan is now married to long-time partner Anna Lezhneva.The union was solemnised at a sub-registrar’s office at Erragadda (formerly the Banjara Hills sub-registrar office), which issued a marriage certificate on September 30, of Konidela Pawan Kalyan marrying Anna.
Kalyan married Nandini, a Visakhapatnam resident, on 17 May 1997.[13] The couple separated after two years of marriage. Kalyan started a relationship with his co-star Renu Desai.[14] His first marriage was scrutinized by the media when Nandini filed a case against Pawan and his family seeking divorce and alimony from him on 25 June 2007. The case was investigated and in August 2008, the court granted divorce to the couple with Pawan agreeing to pay 5 crores as a one time settlement to Nandini.

3rd Wife:
The newest twist in the "Pawan Kalyan's third wedding saga" comes in the form of a marriage certificate that scotches certain rumours and kicks up new ones. The fans are in a tizzy as the bride Anna Lezhneva is reported to be an Australian, and did act in Teenmaar but the photograph of the bride had the media, Tollywood and Pawan fans scratching their heads. Never before did a "marriage certificate" raise the kind of hullaballoo than that of Pawan Kalyan's wedding with Anna Lezhneva over the last couple of days. The government certified document sealed the suspense surrounding Power Star's marital status (and the true identity of the actor's wife).
