Sriya Reddy Pens Heartfelt Birthday Note for OG Co-Star Pawan Kalyan, Calls His Kindness “Empathy in Motion”

Actor Sriya Reddy shared a heartfelt birthday wish for her They Call Him OG co-star Pawan Kalyan, celebrating not just the actor and politician he is, but the quieter, compassionate side she has personally witnessed.

In a note shared on Social media, Sriya wrote about the qualities that stay with her when she thinks of Pawan Kalyan “the way you listen, the way you remember, and most importantly, the way you turn someone’s words into action.”

Recalling instances of his kindness, Sriya mentioned how Pawan Kalyan once listened to Deepika, captain of the Indian Women’s Blind Cricket team, speak about the road to her village and later acted on her concerns. She also recalled an elderly woman who had once asked him to return to her home, a promise he remembered years later and fulfilled.

Sriya further highlighted how he ensured that women who work with their hands had something as basic as reading glasses when they needed them.

“You listen. You remember. And then you act,” she wrote, describing these gestures as something that comes from genuine empathy rather than recognition or applause.

Reflecting on having witnessed this side of him personally, Sriya added that perhaps true compassion is not about grand gestures, but about “empathy in motion.”

She concluded her note by wishing Pawan Kalyan a great year and writing, “May the kindness you quietly give to others always find its way back to you.”

Sriya Reddy and Pawan Kalyan will be seen together in the highly anticipated Telugu action film They Call Him OG.
