As a mother, this hit me hard. That little boy's courage is beyond words. Pawan Kalyan's words about his 'tiny smile' brought tears to my eyes. Also Sonu Sood's gesture of meeting him is heartwarming. These actors truly care. 💔

Great to see our celebrities stepping up. But I can't help thinking why can't our system do more for kids fighting rare diseases? We need better healthcare infrastructure. Anyway, kudos to Pawan Kalyan and Sonu Sood for their kindness.

Niranjan's story reminds us that life is precious. His smile despite battling illness teaches us to be grateful. Pawan Kalyan's heartfelt post shows he's not just a superstar but a compassionate human being. May God give strength to his family.

Really touching to see Pawan Kalyan share such personal memories. But I wish instead of just condoling, he could do something more concrete for children's healthcare in Andhra. He's in power now, after all. A proper fund or scheme would honor Niranjan's memory.

That is so sad. Poor little champ. 🙏 Pawan Kalyan visiting him shows he's a man of the people, not just a politician in an AC office. The way he describes Niranjan's courage is beautiful. We need more such compassionate leaders.
