Allu Aravind calls on Sandhya stampede victim Sri Tej
After the meeting with Sri Tej, Aravind inquired about his health conditions from the doctors at the rehabilitation centre. 'Our entire family is waiting for Sri Tej to recover. It is very heartening to see that Sri Tej is recovering day by day,' the producer said in a statement.
Aravind expressed satisfaction with Sri Tej's progress, stating that the boy is responding well to care. Previously, Aravind and the unit of 'Pushpa 2' donated Rs 2 crore for Sri Tej's treatment.
The boy was discharged from KIMS Hospital in Secunderabad on April 29, after nearly five months of treatment. Doctors said he no longer requires respiratory support and has begun taking oral feeds. However, he remains on a liquid diet through a feeding pipe and has not regained full brain function or the ability to recognise family members.
He was moved out of the ICU two weeks ago and transferred to the rehabilitation centre for further neurological and physical therapy. Doctors have advised a minimum of 15 more days of rehab before he can return home.
The boy was injured during a stampede at the Sandhya Theatre at RTC X roads on December 4, 2024, when a large crowd gathered at Sandhya Theatre for the 'Pushpa 2' premiere featuring Allu Arjun. Sri Tej's mother, Revathi, died of suffocation in the incident, while the boy was critically injured.

Paytm's Vijay Shekhar Sharma says Rs 2 lakh is enough for a good life; Kapil Sharma responds, ‘Why don't you Paytm us rest of the money?'
The Great Indian Kapil Show is all set to host BOAT's Aman Gupta, MamaEarth's Ghazal Alagh, OYO's Ritesh Agarwal, and Paytm's Vijay Shekhar Sharma in the show's upcoming episode on Saturday. Ahead of the episode, the makers of the comedy show gave a glimpse of the fun banter between the guest and characters of the show. In the promo, Kapil Sharma kickstarted the banter with his trademark humor about startups: 'The older generation doesn't understand startups. If their son says, 'Dad, I have started my own company and secured Rs 50 lakh funding,' the father thinks, 'No one lends my son even Rs 100, and now someone has given him Rs 50 lakh?'' The joke leaves everyone in splits. When the guests arrived, Kapil teased them by saying: 'All of you had the same idea to become famous in 192 countries—let's go on Kapil's show.'

Kapil quipped, 'Since you make baby products, was bringing Shilpa Shetty on board a strategy so that dads would be the buyers?' Ritesh Agarwal followed with a story from OYO's early days: 'When I first approached a hotelier, people couldn't even pronounce OYO. One of them, named Rajesh, kept calling it 'YoYo.'' To this, Kapil said, 'Careful, Honey Singh might ask for his share!' Meanwhile, Aman Gupta thanked Archana Puran Singh for unintentionally contributing to BOAT's R&D. 'Archana ji, your laughter has been part of our noise-cancellation testing in the factory.' The audience also joined in on the fun. One woman shared her 'startup idea': a gadget to keep track of her husband. Kapil instantly retorted, 'Just take Ritesh's number. If your husband ever goes to his hotel, he'll inform you directly.' Later, Kapil Sharma turned to Vijay Shekhar Sharma with a serious-sounding question. 'Vijay bhai, how much money do you think one needs to live a good life?' The Paytm founder calmly replied, 'Not more than Rs 1–2 lakh.' Kapil shot back, 'Why don't you keep that much and send the rest to us through Paytm?'
