Pawan Kalyan visit Allu Arjun’s House to Pay condolences to His Grandmother
Pawan Kalyan had just returned from a political meeting in Visakhapatnam. While his wife, Anna Lezhneva, attended the funeral, Pawan Kalyan’s appearance, even a day later, was viewed as a significant and heartfelt gesture.
Allu Kanakaratnam, wife of late actor Allu Ramalingaiah and grandmother of Allu Arjun, passed away on Saturday, August 30, at the age of 94 due to age-related issues. Her funeral took place the same afternoon in Kokapet, Hyderabad. Allu Arjun was in Mumbai for a film shoot but returned to Hyderabad when he learned the news.
Allu Kanakaratnam was Chiranjeevi’s mother-in-law. Pawan Kalyan is Chiranjeevi’s younger brother, and he is close to his sister-in-law Surekha. Allu Arjun is the son of Surekha’s brother, producer Allu Aravind.
Political tensions between Pawan and Allu Arjun
Rumors have circulated about a stressed relationship between the two stars and their fan bases. For years, media and fans have speculated about a rift in the ‘Mega’ family, specifically between the ‘Konidela’ and ‘Allu’ families. Tensions have increased due to fan conflicts on social media and, more recently, political disagreements.
During last year’s assembly election in Andhra Pradesh, Allu Arjun publicly supported his friend and YSRCP candidate, Silpa Ravi. This move heightened speculation of a divide, with fans of Pawan Kalyan and Allu Arjun engaging in heated debates online.
