Renu Desai, ex-wife of Pawan Kalyan, sparked buzz on Monday after a tense showdown with a man who rushed toward her at a street dogs awareness press meet.

Renu Desai slams trolls

In a reel filmed from a boat at Varanasi ghat, the text stated: “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.”




The caption reinforced her stance: “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. You can talk as much negative and hateful nonsense about me, but just remember whose presence I share my pain and tears with.”

Backstory video

For the uninitiated, a video surfaced on Monday capturing Renu Desai in a fiery exchange with a 55-year-old man who allegedly tried to strike her. In response to the criticism, she shared a video calling out the trolls: “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.”
