Actor-turned-politician
Pawan Kalyan is currently in Singapore after his youngest son, Mark Shankar, sustained injuries in a recent fire incident at his school. The eight-year-old reportedly suffered burns on his hands and legs and is undergoing treatment. Amid the concerning situation, a picture of the child has gone viral on the internet.
A photo of the boy, taken shortly after the incident, has now circulated widely online. In the image, Mark is seen wearing an
oxygen mask, likely due to smoke inhalation. Despite the visible injuries on his arms, the young boy’s thumbs-up gesture in the photo has brought a sense of relief to fans. However, further clarification regarding the picture is still awaited.
Netizens took to the comments section to share their concerns, and some wished a speedy recovery for the child. However, some of
Pawan Kalyan’s fans were a bit offended by the photo being circulated online.
In his initial statement, Pawan Kalyan shared that Mark would undergo a bronchoscopy to assess any internal effects caused by inhaling smoke during the incident. “He has sustained injuries on his hands and legs and is currently under the best medical treatment,” the actor noted, also expressing his gratitude to fans and well-wishers.
“Pawan Kalyan has thanked his fans and well-wishers for praying for his son’s well-being,” the statement added.
