Ponugoti Niranjan, a 17-year-old ardent fan of Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan, popularly known as 'Gabbar Singh' in Hanamkonda, passed away on Tuesday (July 8).
A few days ago, Pawan Kalyan visited Niranjan’s house in Hanamkonda and spent some time with him, enquired about his health and his hobbies, and interacted with the family members. Niranjan was the son of Ponugoti Ramu and Manasa, residents of Pegadapalli Dabbal in Hanamkonda, Greater
Warangal.
His deep admiration for Pawan Kalyan earned him the nickname "Gabbar Singh," after the actor's blockbuster film. Niranjan had been bedridden for the past three years after being diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), which stopped his body growth, and he looked like a child. News of Niranjan's demise has saddened family members, friends, and Pawan Kalyan fans.
Many took to social media to express their condolences and pay heartfelt tributes to the young fan.
