Fact Check:
The claim is False. Andhra Pradesh’s Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan underwent medical tests at Apollo Hospital and is not hospitalized.
When we searched using the keywords ‘Pawan Kalyan + hospital”, we found several reports about his visit to the Apollo Hospital.
According to an article published on money control, Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister and Tollywood superstar Pawan Kalyan recently underwent medical tests at Apollo Hospital in Hyderabad. The doctors performed several diagnostic procedures, including scans, to assess his health condition. While the initial results were reviewed, medical experts have reportedly advised him to undergo additional tests in the coming weeks, recommending rest in the meantime. According to reports, Pawan Kalyan’s hospital visit was not part of a routine checkup but was prompted by a health issue he has been dealing with, possibly related to his longstanding back pain. Doctors have suggested further medical evaluations, which are likely to take place either in the last week of February or early March. His political party, Jana Sena, confirmed the news by sharing pictures of him at the hospital on their official social media handle X, along with a detailed caption in Telugu explaining his condition. Despite his health concerns, Pawan Kalyan is set to resume his official duties as Deputy Chief Minister and will be present at the Andhra Pradesh State Assembly’s budget sessions starting February 24. His team has assured fans that there is no major cause for concern.
Janasena party’s X handle post states that @PawanKalyan underwent medical tests at Apollo Hospital. State Deputy Chief Minister Shri Pawan Kalyan underwent tests at Apollo Hospital in Hyderabad today. Scanning and related tests were conducted. The doctors who examined the reports made several suggestions. Some more medical tests are required. The remaining medical tests will be done either by the end of this month or in the first week of March. Shri Pawan Kalyan will attend the budget meetings starting from the 24th.
An article published on Times Now News states that doctors reviewed Pawan’s reports and suggested additional tests. However, these tests would be performed either in the last week of February or early March. Pawan’s visit was not part of the routine and regular checkup. This was after a health bug that Pawan reportedly suffered – it could possibly be his back ache. Pawan’s party Jana Sena has put up photos of the actor-politician undergoing tests in the hospital on their official social media handle X. In a lengthy caption in Telugu, the party explained that Pawan underwent certain tests at the hospital, and upon the doctor’s advice, he would undergo additional tests. Pawan will resume his job as Deputy CM and will attend the budget sessions of the Andhra Pradesh State Assembly from February 24.
Pawan has been suffering from back ache for several years and things have become bad in recent times. Pictures of Pawan Kalyan visiting the hospital went viral sending fans into a tizzy but there is nothing to worry about as it it is not an alarming issue.
According to the Eenadu report, the tests were conducted as AP’s deputy Chief Minister has been suffering from back ache for the past few days as stated by the party sources.
Hence, the claim that Andhra Pradesh’s Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan was hospitalized after taking a dip in the Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj is False. He underwent tests in Apollo as he was suffering from backache for the past several days.
