Deputy Chief Minister and Jana Sena Party president Pawan Kalyan flew to Singapore late Tuesday night after learning that his younger son, Mark Shankar, had been hospitalised with burn injuries and complications from smoke inhalation.
Upon landing in Singapore, Pawan Kalyan headed straight to the hospital, where Mark was receiving emergency care. By Wednesday morning (IST), hospital authorities confirmed that the boy had been shifted from the emergency ward to a regular room and was in a stable condition.
Doctors briefed the Deputy CM on Mark’s treatment, stating that while the burns on his hands and legs are healing, they are closely monitoring his lungs for the impact of smoke exposure. A battery of tests is being carried out to evaluate his respiratory health, and hospital sources said the next three days will be critical for observation and recovery.
The exact cause of the incident that led to the injuries has not been made public by the family. According to Pawan Kalyan the boy was affected by both external burns and internal complications due to inhaling smoke, suggesting an accidental fire-related episode.
Supporters of Pawan Kalyan and the Jana Sena Party have taken to social media, expressing concern and offering prayers for Mark’s quick recovery. The family has appealed for privacy during this time, while medical teams continue to monitor the situation closely.
