Tirupati, April 14 (NationPress) The wife of Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan, Anna Lezhneva, visited the Sri Venkateswara temple at Tirumala on Monday to offer her prayers after the safe recovery of their son Mark Shankar, who was injured in a fire incident in Singapore last week.

Previously, she had shaved her head at the Tirumala temple as part of a vow she made.

Arriving in Tirumala on Sunday, Lezhneva participated in the Suprabhata Seva. She expressed her gratitude by donating Rs 17 lakh for ‘annadanam’ (the offering of food) at the temple due to her son’s recovery.

The seven-year-old Mark Shankar sustained minor injuries during a fire that ignited on April 8 at his school's summer camp.

Immediately after the incident, Pawan Kalyan and his family rushed to Singapore the same day.

The actor-politician, along with Lezhneva and their children, returned to Hyderabad on April 12.

The following day, Lezhneva made her way to Tirumala, where she signed a religious declaration asserting her faith in Lord Venkateswara before offering her hair as a token of gratitude.

On Monday morning, she had a darshan of the deity. As reported by Jana Sena, the party led by Pawan Kalyan, she entered the temple via the Vaikuntha Queue Complex and took part in the Srivari Suprabhata Seva. After her darshan, Vedic scholars blessed her with Veda Ashirvachana at the Ranganayakula Mandapam and provided her with Srivari Tirtha Prasadam.

Later, Lezhneva performed aarti at the Akhilandam in front of the temple and offered prayers to the Swami by breaking a coconut.

Following the darshan, she contributed Rs 17 lakh to the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam authorities for annadanam in her son's name. Additionally, Pawan Kalyan's wife personally served food to the devotees.

Lezhneva, a Russian national, is the third spouse of Pawan Kalyan.

After returning from Singapore, Pawan Kalyan shared on X that his son is stable and recovering well.

"In light of the unfortunate fire incident at my son Mark Shankar’s summer camp in Singapore, I have been deeply moved by the overwhelming support and prayers from around the world. I sincerely thank leaders from various political parties, Jana Sena Party leaders, JanaSainiks, well-wishers, members of the film industry, friends, and supporters globally for their solidarity during this challenging time. Mark Shankar is now stable and recuperating well. Your heartfelt messages have truly provided us with strength," wrote the Jana Sena leader.
