By Aman Shukla

Singer Lata Mangeshkar has been hospitalized after she tested positive for Covid-19. She is in the ICU of the Breach Candy Hospital in Mumbai. Her niece Rachana Shah affirmed the news to ANI and said that she has mild symptoms.

Rachana said, “She is doing fine; has been kept in ICU only for precautionary reasons considering her age. Please respect our privacy and keep Didi in your prayers.”

Lata was before admitted to the hospital in September 2019, when she complained of breathing problems.  “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 had said in an assertion at that time.

The 92-year-old singer has recorded songs in more than 1,000 Hindi movies in different languages. She is the recipient of three National Film Awards, the Dadasaheb Phalke Award, and the Bharat Ratna, among other honours.
