Pawan Kalyan Reunites with Karate Exponent, Calls it 'Rare Honour'
Back in the early 1990s, Pawan Kalyan and Raja trained together in Tamil Nadu under the guidance of renowned martial arts master Shihan Hussaini.
Deputy Chief Minister and popular actor Pawan Kalyan, known for maintaining a low profile on social media, pleasantly surprised fans by sharing an emotional post that offered a rare glimpse into his personal life. In the post, he revealed that he recently reunited with his old karate senior, Renshi Raja, after 34 years.
Back in the early 1990s, Pawan Kalyan and Raja trained together in Tamil Nadu under the guidance of renowned martial arts master Shihan Hussaini. While Raja was already a black belt at the time, Pawan was a green belt, still learning the craft. Today, Renshi Raja continues to run the same karate school, proudly carrying forward their guru’s legacy.
“It was a great honour to reconnect with Renshi Raja and reminisce about our training days,” Pawan wrote. “It was an emotional experience to relive those moments and feel the enduring love we share for martial arts.”
The heartfelt reunion has struck a chord with fans. A photo shared by Pawan Kalyan showing the two martial artists together has gone viral, garnering over 4 lakh likes across social media platforms. Admirers appreciated seeing this lesser-known side of Pawan — the disciplined martial artist behind the actor and political leader.
Pawan Kalyan recently showcased his martial arts prowess in Hari Hara Veera Mallu, which, despite high expectations, turned out to be an average grosser. However, all eyes are now on his upcoming film OG, which is already generating strong buzz and is expected to be a box-office winner.
