Renu Desai asks media not to discuss her personal life
After numerous publications wrote about her hoping for a loving relationship too on the podcast, Renu wrote on her Instagram stories, “I realised that media people are more interested in my second marriage topic more than all the important topics (religion, relationships, social media influences, etc) that I have spoken about in my recent podcast for 1 hr plus…which shows and proves again what we as an audience are giving priority to…”
She also listed numerous pressing issues around the world that could be discussed instead of her potential second marriage, “So I request you to please shift your attention from a 44 yr old woman’s re marriage (which she herself is not sure about at this point of time) to concentrate on topics like tariff sanctions, women safety, economic growth, climate change, etc…and the topics that I have spoken in the podcast which need attention and thought for us to be a better citizen and most importantly a better human.”
Renu replied to those still talking about her divorce from Pawan, writing, “P.S – I can talk about my marriage hundred times because it definitely affects my life and my close family! Please don’t let your education and journalism experience be used for some grown up lady’s second marriage as it doesn’t affect society or law and order.”
