In a harrowing turn of events, Telugu cinema icon and Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan’s younger son, Mark Shankar Pawanovich, was hospitalized following a major fire accident at his school in Singapore earlier this week. The incident, which took place on Tuesday morning, left Mark with burn injuries on his hands and legs, along with respiratory issues due to smoke inhalation.
National Leaders Rally Around the Actor-Politician
Speaking to the media on Wednesday evening, Pawan Kalyan assured fans and well-wishers that Mark is on the path to recovery. "With everyone's blessings, Mark is recovering well," he said, expressing gratitude to a long list of political leaders and public figures who personally reached out to him during this difficult time.
From Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, Telangana CM Revanth Reddy, former CM Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, and several union ministers and MPs, support poured in from across the political spectrum. Members of the Telugu film fraternity and fans also sent heartfelt messages and offered prayers for the young boy’s speedy recovery.
A Birthday He Won’t Forget
Adding a personal layer to the emotional ordeal, Pawan Kalyan noted the uncanny timing of the incident — Mark’s hospitalization coincided with the birthday of his elder son, Akira Nandan. “It’s a strange coincidence,” he said somberly.
Father, Fanbase, and Faith
In his statement, the power star acknowledged the unwavering support from his fans, many of whom reportedly held special prayer meetings for Mark. “I extend my heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you,” he added.
Pawan Kalyan also revealed plans to soon travel to Singapore to be by Mark’s side, alongside his wife, Anna Lezhneva, during their son’s recovery.
While the Singapore school authorities continue to investigate the cause of the fire, the incident has sparked concern among parents and the Indian diaspora abroad. For now, though, supporters of the star and citizens of Andhra Pradesh are breathing a sigh of relief, knowing that young Mark is recovering under expert medical care — and with the steadfast love of a father who also happens to be a beloved leader.
