Call Me Konidela, Says Mrs Pawan Kalyan

Of course, while writing about her, some call her Anna Lezheneva, and others use her Instagram handle, “Anna Konidela”. Putting a small request about the name she wishes to be called with, the other day, Deputy CM and Superstar Pawan Kalyan’s wife wrote a letter to fans and media folks about the way she likes. Here goes it.

“A name is such a personal thing. With my birthday coming up soon, I felt like it’s finally the right moment to write this. I’ve been meaning to do it ever since I started this Instagram account. I wrote it, deleted it… came back to it again. And I just couldn’t find the right way to say it. Most people first got to know me as Anna Lezhneva, because that’s the name that was everywhere when news about our marriage came out. The funny thing is, our marriage certificate is actually the last official document where that surname appears. On that day, I took my husband’s surname and became Anna Konidala,” she says, explaining that her new surname is what she’s looking forward to be called as.

“Please call me Anna Konidala. That’s my name, and it’s the one I feel like myself with. Thank you for understanding. It really means a lot to me. 🤍” says Anna, as she shared a picture with Pawan Kalyan. While many thought that the picture was AI, with both Pawan and Anna looking quite young, she clarified that the photo was taken during their very first trip to Saint Petersburg, Russia.
