Mark Shankar's health update

Chiranjeevi wrote in Telugu, which can be roughly translated to, “Our baby Mark Shankar has come home. But he still needs to recover. With the grace and mercy of our clan deity, Anjaneya Swamy, he will soon be fully healthy and back to normal. Tomorrow is Hanuman Jayanti, and that Lord stood by us, saving that little child from a great danger and a tragedy.”

He went on to add, “After the incident, people from various regions and villages stood in solidarity with our family by offering prayers and blessings for Mark Shankar’s recovery. I, on behalf of my brother Pawan Kalyan and our entire family, wholeheartedly thank each and every one for their support.”

What happened

On April 8, a fire broke out at a shophouse on River Valley Road in Singapore. Pawan’s eight-year-old son Mark Shankar was among the children and adults injured. He sustained injuries to his hands and legs, experiencing respiratory distress due to smoke inhalation. Firefighters and the Singapore Defence Force (SCDF) responded to the scene to put out the blaze.

Pawan released a statement on Tuesday evening addressing his son Mark’s health status. A portion of his statement read, “Our youngest son, Mark Shankar, was injured in a school fire in Singapore and is being treated in hospital. He is gradually recovering.” Pawan was on an official tour in the Alluri Sitarama Raju district of Andhra Pradesh at the time of the incident. Along with brother Chiranjeevi and sister-in-law Surekha, he flew to Singapore on Tuesday night.
