Alka Yagnik, who has given Bollywood so many chartbusters in her long career over four decades, shared some heart-breaking news with her fans on social media.
‘A few weeks ago, as I walked out of a flight, I suddenly felt I was not able to hear anything,’ she posted.
‘Having mustered some courage in the weeks following the episode, I want to break my silence now for all my friends and well wishers who have been asking me why I’m missing in action.
‘It has been diagnosed by my docs as a rare sensory neural nerve hearing loss, due to a viral attack…This sudden, major setback has caught me completely unawares.
‘As I attempt to come to terms with it please keep me in your prayers.
‘For my fans and young colleagues, I would add a word of caution regarding exposure to very loud music and headphones. One day, I wish to share the health perils of my professional life. With all your love and support I am hoping to recalibrate my life and come back to you soon. Your support and understanding will mean the world to me in this critical hour.’
Her colleagues from the music industry immediately reached out to her with words of encouragement.
