Lata Mangeshkar was rushed to a hospital in Mumbai after she complained of breathing difficulties. The family says that she is ‘on a path to recovery’.
“Lata didi suffered from a viral chest infection so we got her to the hospital. But now, she is on a path of recovery. Thank you for your concern,” Rachana Shah, the singer’s niece, said in a statement.
Currently, she is undergoing treatment at Intensive Care Unit and kept under observation. Though the hospital is yet to release any official comment, an official from the hospital said, “She is critical. She has been kept under senior cardiologists and undergoing series of medical diagnosis.”
Mangeshkar, who has lent her voice to over 1,000 songs in Hindi alone, was awarded the Bharat Ratna, the highest civilian honour in the country, in 2001.
