Veteran singer Lata Mangeshkar has been hospitalised after she complained of difficulty in breathing in the early hours of Monday.
Reports further claimed that Lata Mangeshkar was brought in around 2 am on Monday after she complained of chest congestion. “She was brought to the hospital at about 2 am. She is critical and in ICU,” a hospital insider told PTI. Her family has confirmed the news, adding that she is on her way to recovery.
A hospital representative told India Today Television, “She was down with a little bit of chest viral infection. She is fine. She is definitely better since last night. And she will be absolutely fine in a matter of 3-4 days.”
Lata Mangeshkar celebrated her 90th birthday on September 28. The whole of B-Town came out to wish the Nightingale of India on her special day.
It was only yesterday that the veteran singer tweeted about Padmini Kolhapure’s comeback to the big screen with Arjun Kapoor, Sanjay Dutt and Kriti Sanon’s Panipat. She wrote, Namaskar. Meri bhaanji Padmini Kolhapure ek bahut acchi kalakar hai aur ab woh Panipat is film mein Gopika bai ka kirdaar nibha rahi hai. Main Padmini ko aashirwad deti hun aur Ashutosh aur unki team ko shubhkaamanayein deti hun.”:
