New Delhi: Anna Lezhneva, the wife of actor-politician Pawan Kalyan, visited the famous Sri Venkateswara Swamy temple in Tirumala on April 13, 2025. As an act of devotion, she donated her hair by shaving her head. This gesture has gone viral on social media, gathering admiration from many across the country.
Photos of Anna Lezhneva with her shaved head were shared on the official X (formerly Twitter) handle from Pawan Kalyan’s political party. The post also mentioned a caption mentioning that she donated her hair after praying at the temple. The visit held special emotional importance, specifically as it comes while her son, Mark Shankar, continues to recover from injuries sustained in a tragic school fire accident.
This visit was followed after a distressing incident on April 8, 2025, when Mark Shankar suffered burn injuries during a fire that broke out at the River Valley Shophouse in Singapore. The school fire injured several students, and Mark sustained burns on his hands and thighs, needing medical attention, including bronchoscopy procedures.
Fans and followers have been extending support to the family, praying for Mark’s speedy recovery, and praising Anna for her strength and spiritual devotion during this challenging time. One Twitter user wrote, “After her son’s accident, Anna Lezhneva offered her hair to Lord Venkateshwara. A sincere and graceful expression of faith.” Another tweet remarked, “Huge respect for her appreciation of our Indian traditions.” A third tweet stated, “Respect #AnnaLezhneva Garu.”
