Renu Desai says she doesn’t have a husband to protect her
Renu posted a video of herself sitting on a boat at the Varanasi ghat. The text on the video reads, “I don’t have a father or mother or an elder brother or a husband to protect me. All the hate that you spew on me for no fault of mine I just calmly share with Devi and Mahadev. I know that they hear my pain and see my tears (folded hands emoji).”
She also captioned the post, “I never fought for my own personal rights in public ever. But I will scream and shout till everyone understands that killing all innocent dogs just for the mistakes of some aggressive dogs is wrong and you can talk as much negative and hateful nonsense about me but just remember whose presence I share my pain and tears with.”
What happened at the press conference
On Monday, videos of Renu yelling at someone during a press conference went viral. While it was initially claimed that she was shouting at the press, the actor-activist issued a clarification. She claimed that she was responding to a 55-year-old man who had argued with her and tried to hit her.
She also called out trolls and said, “I have seen some comments on my way home. How correct is it to comment on my personal life? You’re saying that’s why Pawan Kalyan left me, that I am cranky. Do I get any money while fighting for street dogs? I am not even fighting for them; I am fighting for human life. And you’re making such disgusting comments. You even said I would learn a lesson if my children died from dog bites. Why would you say that? I am a mother who knows the value of life.”
For the unversed, Renu and Pawan were married from 2009 to 2012. Akira was born in 2004, while Aadhya was born in 2010. The couple separated and filed for divorce in 2011. He married Russian national Anna Lezhneva in 2013. They have two children, Polena Anjana Pawanovna and Mark Shankar Pawanovich, born in 2013 and 2017.
