Anna Konidala, wife of Andhra Pradesh Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan, asks public to use her married name

Anna Konidala, the wife of actor and Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan, posted an Instagram note ahead of her birthday requesting that people address her as "Anna Konidala" rather than her former surname "Anna Lezhneva." She explained that she officially adopted her husband's surname after their 2013 marriage and that the marriage certificate is the last official document bearing her maiden name.

In her message, she highlighted the personal significance of the name change, thanked followers for respecting her request, and shared a throwback photograph from the couple’s first trip to Saint Petersburg, Russia. The post coincided with her recent pilgrimage to Tirupati, which she had earlier documented on social media following her husband's successful surgery.
