On Wednesday morning, the wedding ceremony of Pavan Kalyan and Renu Desai, was performed as per Arya Samaj rites at Pavan Kalyan's residence at Jubilee Hills in the city. Renu Desai had paired with Pavan Kalyan in two Telugu films `Badri' and `Johnny'.

After the wedding ceremony, a beaming Renu Desai and Pavan Kalyan came out of their house in their wedding attire for a couple of minutes to pose for the media.
Only a motely group of friends from the film industry and family members attended the wedding.
Pavan Kalyan recently came under the attack of leaders of some political parties who suggested that he should first get married to his companion Renu Desai before talking about women's rights and their welfare as part of his political campaign.
When Pavan Kalyan's first wife Nandini had charged that Kalyan had got married a second time without divorcing her, Kalyan went on record saying that he had not married Renu Desai.
