Andhra Pradesh Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan met his son Mark Shankar in a Singapore hospital, where he is receiving treatment for burn injuries and lung complications, Janasena party sources said on Wednesday.
Seven year-old Shankar suffered the injuries and lung issues due to smoke inhalation he sustained from a fire accident at a school in Singapore.
The child is steadily recovering, a press release from the party noted.
Kalyan flew to Singapore from Hyderabad on Tuesday night and went directly to the hospital where he met his son.

A 10-year-old girl died and 20 other people, including Kalyan's son, were injured Tuesday after a fire broke out at a Singapore shophouse where education and enrichment classes for children are conducted.
Six adults aged between 23 and 55, and 16 children between six and 10, including Kalyan's seven-year-old younger son, were rescued from the shophouse fire at the three-storey River Valley Road building.
The girl later died at a hospital, police said.
"Based on preliminary investigations, the police do not suspect foul play. Police investigations are ongoing," Channel News Asia reported, quoting police.
