SP Balasubrahmanyam’s health update

SP Charan, in his statement, said that he was made to share a health update in the wake of the speculations that surfaced online. Although he did not clearly mention if his father is tested negative for the deadly virus. But he urged fans to stay away from all the rumours that have prevailed online.

I usually post Appa’s health updates after I have a discussion with the medical team from the hospital. But, unfortunately, I am forced to put up a post in the morning. I am the only one who gets the information about dad. All information comes to me first and only then I post it to the media. Today, unfortunately, rumours are going around that dad has tested negative for COVID.
