Thank you not only for your expertise, but also for your kindness, dedication and compassion throughout this journey. We will always be grateful,” she further said.

The actor-turned-politician was admitted to the hospital on Saturday after doctors advised surgery for a severe tear in the rotator cuff muscle of his right shoulder. The surgery lasted around three-and-a-half hours.

According to the Jana Sena Party, Pawan Kalyan had been dealing with persistent shoulder pain since 2016. The injury became worse over the years because of his busy political and professional schedule. During the surgery, doctors also found an avulsion fracture in his right shoulder.

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu had also visited Pawan Kalyan at the hospital after the surgery. (ANI)
