Pawan ties knot with long-time live-in companion


In a move ostensibly aimed at silencing his critics, Telugu film hero and Chiranjeevi& youngest brother Pavan Kalyan formally married his long-time live-in companion Renu Desai at his residence today.

K Kalyan Kumar, known as Pavan Kalyan, tied the knot at a simple ceremony as per Arya Samaj rituals.

Renu Desai was the heroine in two of Kalyan&aposs films: Badri & Jonny
She is currently supporting Kalyan as a costume designer for his films.

Kalyan recently obtained divorce from his first wife Nandini of Visakhapatnam following a long legal battle.

Kalyan and Renu had been staying together for about seven years now and have a son Akira.

Though none objected to their live-in relationship earlier, it became an issue following the launch of Praja Rajyam Party by Chiranjeevi.

With Kalyan heading the party&aposs youth wing Yuva Rajyam, other parties, particularly Congress and TDP, have been hitting out at him for continuing an illegal live-in relationship with a woman by doing"injustice"to another.

Kalyan, however, maintained a stoic silence over the issue and never reacted to criticism over his personal life.

"The marriage with Renu Desai was on cards for sometime now after the legal hurdles were cleared. But they waited this long only for the completion of his father&aposs first death anniversary,"a friend of Kalyan said.

Barring the family members and a few close friends, none were invited for Kalyan& marriage.
