Following the incident, party officials and supporters have urged Pawan Kalyan to end his ongoing political tour in the Alluri Sitarama Raju district and fly to Singapore to be with his son. However, the actor-turned-politician has made it clear that he will complete his tour before heading overseas.
The update comes as a moment of concern for his followers, especially since Pawan Kalyan had just assumed the role of Andhra Pradesh’s Deputy Chief Minister. Fans and well-wishers have taken to social media to pray for Mark Shankar’s speedy recovery.
Mark Shankar was born on October 10, 2017, to Pawan Kalyan and his wife, Anna Lezhneva. Anna is a Russian model and Pawan Kalyan’s third wife. The couple met during the shoot of the film Teen Maar in 2011 and got married in a private ceremony on September 30, 2013.
While the exact cause of the fire remains unclear, the incident has sparked widespread concern both in Andhra Pradesh and among Telugu cinema fans worldwide. There has been no official word from Singapore authorities yet on the nature or extent of the blaze.
Meanwhile, party insiders remain hopeful that Mark’s condition will improve quickly. Several fans have also shared emotional messages online, showing solidarity with the family.
Stay tuned for further updates on Mark Shankar’s health and Pawan Kalyan’s next steps.
