While Pawan married a Russian actor, Anna Lezhneva, a few years later, Renu never remarried.

Renu Desai on not remarrying after divorcing Pawan Kalyan
Renu was asked on the podcast if she ever feels like it would be nice to have a partner to look after her after everything she has gone through. She replied, “Of course, I feel like having a partner too. But it's my sense of responsibility towards my kids that stops me from doing it. If I look at it individually, yes, I should have a boyfriend, I should have a marriage, I should have a life. But when I look at it from the kids' point of view…”
The actor then brought up her broken 2018 engagement and said, “I tried again, I got engaged; it was like an arranged thing. But I realised I will not be able to do justice either to the relationship or to the kids. I’m a single parent. It's different when you marry someone and have kids with them. But when you've had kids with someone, it's a sensitive thing for someone else to enter the equation. I'm waiting for Aadhya to grow up; she's 15 now, maybe when she’s 18 and off to college.”
