Back in the day, when Pawan Kalyan announced that he married Russian origin Australian citizen Anna Lezhneva, there was a talk that ‘mega family’ will never approve her. As Pawan’s kids from former wife Renu Desai, Akira and Aadya used to appear with mega family at various times, including at Govindudu Andarivadele shooting spot, this sounded true.

Things change over time like trees blossom, wither, dry out and grow back with each season. That change has now come to the way Pawan’s wife gets treated inside the mega family. Anna is seen everywhere in the family as she graced Sreeja’s second marriage at Bangalore farmhouse all alone. Later she appeared in many events including some parties at Chiranjeevi’s residence. Yesterday she turned up with son Mark Shankar at Sreeja’s second daughter Navishka’s ‘Anna Praasana’ event too.

While some remind that Anna got accepted into the mega family after Renu Desai announced about her second marriage with a Marathi businessman, few loyalists of the mega family maintain that Anna always has that respect as she is Pawan Kalyan’s wife.
