Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan has returned to India from Singapore along with his son Mark Shankar, who was injured in a fire accident last week.
The Jana Sena leader, along with his family members, landed at Hyderabad International Airport late on Saturday night.
Pawan Kalyan was seen carrying his seven-year-old son. His wife, Anna Lezhneva, and daughter, Polena Anjana, also accompanied him. Mark Shankar had been injured in a fire accident during a summer camp in Singapore last week.
The actor-turned-politician confirmed that his son is stable and recovering well. He shared an emotional message on social media platform X.
“Following the unfortunate fire incident at my son Mark Shankar’s summer camp in Singapore, I have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of prayers, concern, and support from all over the world," he posted.

He thanked political leaders, party workers, supporters, film industry members, and well-wishers. “Your heartfelt messages have truly given us strength,” he added.
In another post, Pawan Kalyan expressed gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Prime Minister’s Office. He thanked them for their swift and supportive response. He also appreciated the help extended by Indian authorities in Singapore.
“The assistance coordinated through the Indian High Commissioner in Singapore was deeply reassuring,” he said.
Pawan revealed that he was in the Uttarandhra Tribal region when he received the distressing news. He had been attending the Adavi Thalli Baata programme and launching development projects.
He praised the Prime Minister for focusing on the welfare of Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTGs). He highlighted the upcoming development of 1,069 kilometres of roads. The project will connect 601 PVTG habitations, with an estimated cost of ₹1,005 crore.
He said the project, backed by PM JANMAN, PMGSY, and MGNREGS, will improve transport, boost tourism, and ease medical access. Most importantly, it will end the use of 'doli' (manual stretchers) to carry patients through remote terrain.
Pawan Kalyan ended his message by once again thanking everyone for their support during his family’s difficult time.
