In a reassuring post-surgery statement, Andhra Pradesh’s Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan declared, ‘I am getting better,’ while thanking a host of leaders, actors, and fans for their support. The procedure, linked to sinus issues, took place at Hyderabad’s Apollo Hospital on Saturday.
The Janasena chief, blending his cinematic charisma with political stature, used X to reply to messages from central and state ministers, rival politicians, and industry peers. His recovery is progressing steadily, he noted.
Megastar Chiranjeevi, Pawan’s brother, provided the first family update: the operation went smoothly, with a week’s rest needed before normalcy. ‘Everything is under control,’ he assured, wishing quick healing.
Pawan reciprocated, crediting his brother’s blessings for his imminent return to societal duties.
Naga Babu, another sibling and party colleague, envisioned Pawan bouncing back with amplified energy post-recovery.
Stars from Tollywood rallied around: Junior NTR, Allu Arjun, Sai Dharam Tej among them. Chief Minister Naidu, Governor Nazeer, and YSR Congress head Jagan Mohan Reddy joined the chorus of well-wishes.
Prime Minister Modi’s personal touch stood out—he called for an update and tweeted admiration for Pawan’s resilience, praying for full health.
As messages flooded in from various quarters, Pawan’s gracious responses underscored his unifying appeal. This health scare, though minor, reminds of the high stakes in his dual worlds of governance and glamour, with fans and allies eagerly awaiting his robust return.
