for
COVID-19,
is
responding
to
treatment
as
per
the
new
update
released
by
his
son
SP
Charan.
In
the
video
shared
on
social
media,
the

said
that
SPB
is
90
percent
out
of
sedation
and
is
doing
well.
He
said,
"I
had
my
conversation
with
the
doctors
today
and
everything
seems
normal.
As
I
had
said
yesterday,
he
is
responding...he
is
90
percent
out
of
sedation
and
he
is
doing
well..
he
is
responding

Thanking
the
fans
and
followers
of
SPB
for
their
incessant
prayers
for
the
speedy
recovery
of
the
singer,
Charan
said,
"I
cannot
say
enough
that
we
as
a
family
are
very
grateful
for
all
the
love
and
affection
and
the
prayers
that
have
come
my
father's
way.
We
are
also
grateful
to
MGM
health
center,
the
doctors
who
have
been
diligently
working
on
my
father
and
his
treatment
and
make
sure
that
he
is
going
to
recover
from
this
illness.
Let's
keep
praying.
Hopefully,
we
will
see
father
as
early
as
possible."
To
the
fans
and
followers
of
the
legendary
singer
who
requested
his
son
to
update
about
SPB's
health
status
in
Tamil
for
the
non-English
speakers,
Charan
clarified
that
the
reason
why
he
chose
to
speak
in
English
is
because
of
the
huge
fan
following
of
his
father
across
the
country.
He
also
added
that
updating
everyone
in
different
languages
would
be
time-consuming
for
him
as
he
is
between
prayers
and
talking
to
doctors.
SP
Charan
said,
"For
me
to
put
up
an
update
in
Tamil,
Telugu,
Kannada,
Hindi
or
Malayalam
or
the
languages
he
has
sung
in
would
be
very
time
consuming
for
me.
I
am
in
between
prayers,
talking
to
doctors
and
putting
up
updates
for
all
his
fans..so
please
understand..If
there
are
people
who
understand
what
am
saying
please
explain
to
those
people
what
I
am
saying
so
that
the
news
will
spread
and
the
positivity
will
also
spread."
