HYDERABAD: Megastar Chiranjeevi has shared a health update about his nephew, Mark Shankar, who is the son of Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan. Mark was injured in a school fire that took place in Singapore earlier this week.
On Thursday, the megastar took to his X account to share that his nephew has returned home. However, he still “needs to recover” fully.
“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 this little child from great danger and tragedy. On this occasion, everyone in their respective towns and areas has stood by our family, wishing Mark Shankar a speedy recovery. They are praying for the child and offering blessings. On behalf of myself, my younger brother Kalyan Babu @PawanKalyan, and our entire family, we would like to thank you all”, read his X post.
మా బిడ్డ మార్క్ శంకర్ ఇంటికొచ్చేసాడు. అయితే ఇంకా కోలుకోవాలి. మా కులదైవమైన ఆంజనేయ స్వామి దయతో, కృపతో త్వరలోనే పూర్తి ఆరోగ్యంతో, మళ్ళీ మామూలుగా ఎప్పటిలానే వుంటాడు.
రేపు హనుమత్ జయంతి, ఆ స్వామి ఓ పెద్ద ప్రమాదం నుంచి, ఓ విషాదం నుంచి ఆ పసి బిడ్డని కాపాడి మాకు అండగా… pic.twitter.com/nEcWQEj92v
