On June 24 (Wednesday), the national award winner took to Instagram to share an update on her health. She said, "For the last two years, I have stayed away from the spotlight, from public appearances, and from sharing much of my journey. Many of you knew I am going through difficult health, and through it all, your love, prayers, messages, and unwavering support have stayed with me every step of the way."
After staying away from the spotlight for a considerable amount of time, the singer announced in 2024 that she has a rare hearing disorder, caused by a sudden viral attack. The condition severely affected her hearing, forcing her to step away from the music industry and professional singing.
Due to difficulty in hearing, she is unable to take up new projects. "Composers approach me now and then. But I am not able to do it," she told NDTV.
