Renu Desai after separating from Pawan Kalyan

Many people remember Renu Desai from her debut film 'Badri', where she starred opposite Pawan Kalyan. The two fell in love during the making of the film. Renu once shared in an interview that director Puri Jagannadh introduced her to Pawan at Ramanaidu Studio, and she was instantly impressed. They later married and had two children, Akira Nandan and Aadya. The couple separated in 2012. While there were rumours that she received over 40 crores as alimony, Renu has repeatedly denied this, stating she never took a single rupee.

This is how Renu Desai earns crores

So, if she didn't take alimony and wasn't acting, how did Renu manage? She herself revealed that she comes from a very wealthy family. Her ancestors owned seven to eight palace-like buildings, though they were lost over time. Her family has been in the real estate business for generations, and Renu developed a sharp business sense from a young age. She calls herself a talented businesswoman and confirms that real estate is still her main source of income today.

You have to be impressed by Renu's talent

Besides real estate, Renu Desai also ventured into the stock market. She revealed that she invests in stocks and has a good understanding of the market. On top of this, she runs a few other small businesses. These ventures provide her with a steady income, and she is financially independent. She once mentioned that if her family had managed to keep their ancestral properties, her financial status would have been on a whole different level. Today, Renu Desai earns crores not from films, but from her sharp investments in real estate and stocks.
