Singer SP Balasubrahmanyam's son Charan shared a video in which he shunned the news about his father testing negative for COVID-19. Charan, however, went on to confirm that SPB was now indeed stable, but is still on ventilator.
Further, SP Charan requested media houses to not pay heed to anybody apart from him, since he is the official spokesperson of SP Balasubrahmanyam. Charan had also said that he was awaiting test results for his father.

The last time we heard about SPB, National and international experts had collaborated with the team of clinicians to treat him. Balasubrahmanyam's vital parameters, which were satisfactory on August 19, were also being closely monitored.
Balasubrahmanyam's son SP Charan had confirmed the news of the renowned singer being on ventilator on Tuesday itself. He had also stated that a team of experts is examining him.
SPB was admitted to the hospital on August 5, 2020. Renowned celebrities from the South Indian film industry, like Rajinikanth, Sivakumar and others wished him a speedy recovery.
It was previously reported that actors Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan would pray for the singer's speedy recovery. While neither Rajini nor Haasan could be seen, 'Baahubali' actor Satyaraj did pray for SPB virtually along with other South Indian film celebs recently.
