New Delhi, April 9, 2026 – It has been exactly one year since a devastating fire in Singapore nearly claimed the life of on the trauma her family endured, while revealing that a formal probe into the incident is still underway.
On April 8, 2026, Lezhneva took to social media to celebrate a day of mixed emotions. While the date marks the 22nd birthday of Pawan Kalyan’s eldest son, Akira Nandan, it also serves as what Anna calls a “second birthday” for young Mark, who narrowly escaped a fatal outcome during a summer camp tragedy in 2025.
The fire broke out on April 8, 2025, at a shophouse on River Valley Road in Singapore where Mark was attending a summer program. The blaze was catastrophic, resulting in the tragic death of a 10-year-old girl named Freya and leaving 18 other children hospitalized with severe injuries.
Recalling the harrowing moments at the hospital, Anna shared the deep emotional scar the event left behind:
“I still remember sitting by his hospital bed, watching him struggle to breathe. His lungs were damaged, but today he is okay. No mother should ever go through that.”
Mark suffered from significant smoke inhalation and burns, requiring emergency care before he was eventually stabilized and flown back to India on April 13, 2025. In a gesture of profound gratitude following his recovery, Anna famously tonsured her hair at the Tirumala Temple last year, fulfilling a spiritual vow.
Despite a year passing, the legal and safety aftermath of the fire remains unresolved. Anna highlighted that the families of the victims are still searching for answers and accountability.
In her message, Lezhneva extended heartfelt gratitude to a group of construction workers who were at the scene. These workers reportedly rescued 15 children from the burning building before the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) arrived, preventing an even greater loss of life.
Closing her statement with a plea for public safety, she urged families to prioritize fire preparedness:
As Pawan Kalyan continues his dual role in cinema and governance, the family remains focused on Mark’s full health journey, using their platform to keep the memory of the incident alive until the official investigation reaches its conclusion.
