Hours after Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister and actor Pawan Kalyan announced separation from his third wife, Anna Konidala, his former wife, actor Renu Desai, penned a cryptic note on social media about empathy and kindness.
Taking to her Instagram handle, Renu shared a couple of pictures of herself and said that if someone is going through a “difficult time,” it is not right to criticise them.
Without directly mentioning anyone, Renu wrote in Telugu, “It is not morally right to criticise someone when they are already going through a difficult time. It is inhuman to trample on people who have already fallen. No matter what position or status they hold, we should not forget that they too are human beings. They are someone's child, someone's parent or someone's sibling.”
“Please don't throw stones at other people's houses when we ourselves live in imperfect glass houses! We are all humans and empathy and kindness are the first fundamental requirements to be called a human!” Renu further added.
The actor concluded, “Just because I wrote these words don't start your stupid speculations because I sincerely believe that as a society we can do better. And NO, I haven't gotten any paytm to be kind and sensible. It's just the way I perceive things with a functioning prefrontal cortex.”
Pawan Kalyan and Renu Desai's relationship
Pawan Kalyan married Renu Desai in 2009, a year after his divorce with first wife Nandini. The two first met on the sets of the 2000 Telugu film Badri and were together for several years before tying the knot. They are proud parents of two children, Akira Nandan and Aadhya.
