It came as a swift and emotional volte-face when Pawan Kalyan, politician-turned-actor, suspended his Andhra Pradesh political campaign to find out about the injury he received in the fire accident of his younger son, Mark Shankar, from a school accident in Singapore.
The accident was tragic, and the young boy suffered hand and leg injuries, along with respiratory issues from inhaling smoke. He was taken to a Singapore hospital straight away, where doctors have reported that he is stable and getting the right kind of medical care.
Pawan Kalyan, who was busy canvassing the Araku area in the course of his political tours, immediately called off all program schedules. Having got the word, the chief of Jana Sena Party organized for himself immediate flight to Singapore from Visakhapatnam.
A press release from his entourage corroborated the fact of the fire accident and intimated fans and well-wishers that Mark is undergoing the right treatment and improving gradually.
Since the news came out, fans and supporters of Pawan Kalyan have been filling social media with messages of support and wishes for Mark’s quick recovery. The quick thinking and concern shown by the actor towards family have been appreciated by many, proving his emotional connect with children.
