Telugu actor and Andhra Pradesh deputy chief minister Pawan Kalyan’s reported separation from his third wife has prompted renewed attention on comments shared by his ex-wife Renu Desai during Diwali. Multiple outlets say Desai posted on Instagram about late-night firecracker noise, arguing it disturbs children, the elderly, and people dealing with health issues.
The reports also describe backlash and debate around her remarks. Free Press Journal coverage highlights her response to trolls who she says framed her as “anti-Hindu” and accused her of sensationalism, with Desai urging empathy and caution against linking her comments to her personal life. Times of India and Free Press Journal both stress her call for festivities to end by around 10 pm, while Free Press Journal also notes her frustration that crackers continued into the early hours for multiple days and her questions about why the noise persisted even after Diwali.
Across outlets, the central context is Desai’s critique of late-night fireworks and her insistence that the focus should remain on reducing harm and improving consideration for others, even as social media speculation continues.
