Pawan Kalyan, an actor and deputy chief minister of Andhra Pradesh, has recently won over his fans with a sweet gesture on his mother, Anjana Devi’s birthday.

To mark the special day, he visited the Indira Gandhi Zoological Park in Visakhapatnam on Thursday. In addition to feeding the animals, he inaugurated new bear and elephant cages during his formal review visit to the zoo.

Additionally, Pawan adopted two giraffes in honour of his mother, Anjana Devi, on her birthday.

For a year, Pawan promised to cover all of the giraffes' costs. Fans and internet users have been praising his considerate action. In addition, he asked zoo personnel about animal care procedures while touring the cages of the hippopotamus, black bear, tiger, and lion. The original star also urged organisations to aid in the conservation of wildlife.

When a butterfly swooped close and rested on Pawan's forehead and hand, an intriguing event occurred in the butterfly garden, leading him to playfully make his way through. Since then, images and videos from the trip have surfaced on social media, with admirers praising nature's respect for the politician-actor.

Meanwhile, Chiranjeevi wished his amma with a sweet social media post. He took to his Instagram and shared a video montage featuring several sweet moments with his mother. Sharing the pictures, the actor noted in the caption that his strength comes from her blessings.
