'He's Going Through Bronchoscopy': Pawan Kalyan On Son Injured In Singapore School Fire

April 8, 2025: In a distressing incident, actor and Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, Pawan Kalyan, revealed that his son, Mark Shankar Pawanovich, was injured in a recent school fire in Singapore. Kalyan informed the public that Mark is currently hospitalized and slowly recuperating. Prime Minister Narendra Modi extended his support by personally contacting Pawan Kalyan, offering words of encouragement that provided strength during this challenging time. Additionally, the Indian High Commissioner in Singapore has been directed to offer necessary assistance. Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu also reached out to express his concern. Pawan Kalyan expressed gratitude towards the numerous well-wishers, including politicians, actors, and others who prayed for his son’s swift recovery, holding poojas at temples on Mark’s behalf. “Mark Shankar is gradually recovering due to these good-hearted wishes and blessings. I sincerely thank everyone,” Kalyan stated. The fire broke out in a shophouse on River Valley Road in Singapore, where several individuals, including children, were caught in the blaze. Pawan Kalyan’s eight-year-old son, Mark, sustained burns on his limbs and suffered from smoke inhalation. The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) quickly responded to control the fire. At the time of the incident, Pawan Kalyan was in Andhra Pradesh's Alluri Sitarama Raju district on an official visit, engaging with local communities. He promptly canceled his remaining engagements in Visakhapatnam to fly to Singapore and be with his son. Mark, who attends school in Singapore, is currently receiving medical treatment at a local hospital. Pawan Kalyan and his third wife, Anna Lezhneva, have two children—Mark and their daughter, Polena. The family maintains a low profile, rarely appearing in public together.
