Recently, Renu Desai found herself in the centre of speculative reports when she visited Kurnool along with a Sakshi TV anchor. This visit coincided with Pawan Kalyan's tour of Kurnool. Many baseless reports speculated that the ex-wife of the Jana Sena chief might be fielded by the YSRCP in the coming elections.

Turns out that the no-nonsense lady has no political plans. She had announced the making of a documentary on farmers long ago. It was in connection with this documentary that Renu toured a few backward places in Rayalaseema to interact with farmers.

The reason she went with the Sakshi TV anchor is that she has been close to her for a few years now. This anchor had also done exclusive interviews with Renu.
