There’s a strong sentiment in the industry that actresses who pair up with Pawan Kalyan often see their careers falter. Here's a look at several actresses who, despite initial success, struggled to sustain their careers after starring alongside Pawan Kalyan:
Supriya Yarlagadda:
Debuted with Pawan Kalyan in Akkada Ammayi Ikkada Abbayi.
Disappeared from the silver screen post the movie, later returned as a character artist.
Devayani:
Starred in Suswagatham which was a hit, but couldn’t establish a successful career as a heroine.
Now performs character roles.
Keerthi Reddy:
Became an overnight star with Tholi Prema, a timeless classic.
Retired from the industry after getting married and settling abroad.
Preeti Jhangiani:
Known for Thammudu.
Gained popularity but couldn’t build a long-term career, later got married.
Amisha Patel & Renu Desai:
Both starred in Badri.
Renu Desai married Pawan Kalyan and left her career; Amisha Patel struggled to sustain her success in both Telugu and Hindi films.
Meera Jasmine:
Starred in Gudumba Shankar.
The movie flopped, and her career declined afterward.
Meera Chopra:
Paired with Pawan in Bangaram.
The film’s failure affected her career significantly, and she now occasionally appears in the news due to controversies.
Ileana D'Cruz:
Starred in Jalsa.
Post Jalsa, her career took a downturn. She later moved to Bollywood, but didn’t find sustained success. Recently, she gave birth to a baby boy with her boyfriend.
Nikesha Patel:
Featured in Puli.
The film’s flop resulted in limited opportunities, leading to her fading from the industry.
Sarah Jane Dias & Anjali Lavania:
Co-starred in Panjaa.
Both couldn’t achieve notable success in their careers.
Anu Emmanuel:
Starred in Agnyaathavaasi alongside Keerthy Suresh.
Unlike Keerthy, who became a star, Anu Emmanuel faced a career slump and is nearly faded out of the industry.
This pattern indicates that pairing with Pawan Kalyan, despite the initial promise, often doesn’t lead to long-term success for many actresses.
