Pawan Kalyan’s 17-year-old fan, Ponuganti Niranjan, whom the actor had met at his residence in June, has passed away after a prolonged battle with a rare genetic disorder. He breathed his last while undergoing treatment at a hospital in Hyderabad on Tuesday night. The news has left the actor’s fans and members of the Jana Sena Party deeply saddened.

Niranjan, a resident of Hanumakonda in Telangana’s Warangal district, had been living with the rare genetic condition for several years. Family members recall that he loved dancing as a child, but as the disease progressed, it gradually affected his physical development and eventually left him bedridden.

In June this year, Pawan Kalyan personally travelled to Hanumakonda after watching a video in which Niranjan expressed his heartfelt wish to meet the actor in person.

“A few days ago, I came across a video of Niranjan from Hanumakonda, Warangal, who is bravely battling a rare disease and had expressed a heartfelt wish to meet me. Today, I had the privilege of visiting him and spending time with him and his family,” he had written in a post on X, formerly Twitter.

Pawan also said that the young fan’s “courage, resilience, and unwavering spirit in the face of adversity” had deeply inspired him.

During the visit, the actor warmly greeted Niranjan, kissed his hand, and presented him with prasadam and silk garments specially brought from Tirupati.
