CityLightBuzz: Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister and Jana Sena Party chief Pawan Kalyan has been suffering from a chronic shoulder injury since 2016. The condition aggravated over the years due to the heavy physical strain during his political campaigns like the Varahi Yatra and recent election tours. The Surgery: On the morning of Saturday, July 11, 2026, Pawan Kalyan underwent a highly successful rotator cuff surgery on his right shoulder at the Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital in Mumbai. A team of experts led by renowned orthopedic surgeon Dr. Dinshaw Pardiwala performed the operation, which lasted for about three and a half hours. Doctors decided against operating on both shoulders simultaneously to avoid severe post-operative pain during recovery; hence, the left shoulder surgery is scheduled to take place after two months.CM Chandrababu Naidu’s Visit: On Sunday, July 12, 2026, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu flew to Mumbai to personally visit the recovering Deputy CM at the hospital. The Interaction: Chief Minister Naidu spent over half an hour with Pawan Kalyan, inquiring about his post-surgery health condition and the medical treatment being provided. He wished him a speedy and complete recovery so he could return to public service soon. Reports also indicate that the two leaders briefly discussed state development works and the current political situation during the meet.
