After marriage, a woman's surname usually changes. The same happened with Anna Lezhneva. Even after marrying Pawan Kalyan, people kept calling her Anna Lezhneva, so she had to clarify. She announced that she is not Anna Lezhneva, but Anna Konidala, as her husband's surname is now part of her name. Pawan Kalyan's wife posted on social media, 'I request everyone to call me Anna Konidala from now on.' She also posted a photo with the name 'Anna Konidala' written in capital letters.

Pawan's wife's interesting post on name change..

Anna Konidala gave a clear explanation in her post. She wrote, 'My birthday is coming soon, so this is the right time to clarify something. I've wanted to do this since I opened my Instagram account. I tried writing about it many times... but I would type and then delete it. Now is the right time... so I want to talk about it.' She continued, 'Many people know me as Anna Lezhneva. That was my name when I married Pawan Kalyan... so that's how everyone got to know me. The funny thing is, the last time my name was officially Anna Lezhneva was on our marriage certificate. After the wedding, my husband's family name was added to mine... Anna Lezhneva became Anna Konidala.' She made a small request to her followers: 'Please call me Anna Konidala from now on. This is my name... and this is what I want to be called. I hope you understand my request. Thank you. The name Anna Konidala is very special to me,' the AP Deputy CM's wife wrote in her interesting Instagram post.
