Pawan Kalyan Health Update: Actor Recovers From Eye Infection, Details Potential Second Surgery
Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan is currently recovering from an urgent sinus surgery performed after an infection spread to his eye, causing significant complications. During a recent medical evaluation, doctors revealed that Kalyan may soon require a second operation to address a chronic shoulder injury.
Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister and actor Pawan Kalyan has revealed that a severe sinus infection recently spread to his eye, necessitating urgent surgical intervention. During a visit from Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu at his Jubilee Hills residence on Saturday, Kalyan shared details regarding his health status and the medical complications that have surfaced over the past few weeks. While he is currently recovering from a sinus procedure, medical experts have indicated that a second surgery may be required to address long-standing physical injuries. 'I Am Recovering Steadily', Says Pawan Kalyan.
Pawan Kalyan Surgery Update
The Deputy Chief Minister confirmed that he underwent Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) on April 18 in Hyderabad. This minimally invasive procedure was performed after what he initially dismissed as routine sinus discomfort escalated into a serious infection that affected his eye.
According to a statement from the Deputy Chief Minister’s Office, Kalyan reported persistent nasal bleeding following the operation, though doctors have reassured him that this should subside within a week. While the surgery successfully addressed the immediate threat of the infection, medical professionals are now monitoring his recovery closely.
Potential Second Operation for Pawan Kalyan
The possibility of another surgery stems from chronic physical issues dating back to Kalyan's film career. Doctors attending the visit explained that the actor-politician has been battling significant shoulder muscle damage, including a rotator cuff injury, for the past five years.
Because these injuries sustained during the filming of high-octane action sequences remained largely untreated, the condition has deteriorated. Medical experts noted that the shoulder issue has now reached a point where "proper medical attention and surgery may be necessary" to restore full mobility and alleviate regular discomfort.
Recovery and Official Duties
Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu has urged his deputy to prioritise his health and adhere strictly to medical advice. Despite being advised to take seven to ten days of complete rest, Kalyan has reportedly been reviewing official files and departmental matters from his residence. Naidu emphasised the importance of a full recovery, suggesting that administrative work be limited until doctors provide a clear discharge for full-time duties. Chiranjeevi Thanks Doctor Who Operated on Ram Charan’s Eyelid; Says His ‘Craftsmanship Made All the Difference’ (View Post).
Kalyan’s health has been a point of concern for both political allies and fans. Following his initial hospitalisation on April 18, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and several other national leaders reached out to express their support and wish him a speedy recovery. For now, the Deputy Chief Minister remains under observation at his home as he balances his recovery with his new administrative responsibilities.
