She further wrote, “Please don’t throw stones at other peoples houses when we ourselves live in imperfect glass houses! We are all humans and empathy and kindness are the first fundamental requirements to be called a human!”

The actor concluded, “Just because I wrote these words don’t start your stupid speculations because I sincerely believe that as a society we can do better. And NO, I haven’t gotten any paytm to be kind and sensible. It’s just the way I perceive things with a functioning prefrontal cortex.”

Renu Desai’s note coincided with Pawan Kalyan and Anna Lezhneva announcing their decision to part ways after 13 years of marriage. In a joint statement, the former couple said they had decided to separate with mutual understanding and respect. The note read: “After sharing a significant part of our lives together, we have decided to part ways with mutual understanding and respect. Though our marriage has come to an end, we remain good friends and devoted parents to our wonderful children. Their happiness and well-being will always be our shared priority. During this personal transition, we seek your understanding, kindness and respect for our privacy. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has stood by us throughout this journey.”

Following the news about their separation, Anna deactivated her Instagram account.
