Pawan Kalyan’s wife offers hair at Tirupati, donates Rs 17L post son’s accident

Hyderabad: Anna Lezhneva, wife of Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister and actor Pawan Kalyan, visited the famous Tirumala temple to thank Lord Venkateswara. Her visit came after a fire accident in Singapore involving her son, Mark Shankar. Luckily, he was safe and had only minor injuries.

A Mother’s Gratitude  

Right after the accident, Pawan Kalyan flew to Singapore and brought his son back to India. To thank God, Anna decided to fulfill a vow by visiting Tirumala. She offered her hair at the temple—a common way for devotees to show their thankfulness.

Anna Lezhneva’s Donation 

Anna also gave a donation of Rs. 17 lakhs to the temple’s Annadanam program in her son Mark’s name. This money will help serve free meals to pilgrims. She personally helped serve food to devotees and later ate with them at the Tarigonda Vengamamba Annadanam Center.
