Alka Yagnik on her health after receiving Padma Bhushan
For the unversed, Alka Yagnik was honoured with the prestigious Padma Bhushan on June 23. The veteran singer received the honour from President Droupadi Murmu at the second investiture ceremony held at Rashtrapati Bhavan in Delhi. A day later she shared an emotional post about her condition. The singer stated that she had revealed that she had largely refrained from public appearances over the past two years due to health challenges.
In 2024, the veteran singer revealed her diagnosis of a rare hearing disorder, sensorineural hearing loss. The condition was triggered by a sudden viral attack and caused a drastic loss of hearing.
After weeks of being absent from the public eye, she broke her silence on Instagram to explain her sudden inability to hear, which struck just after she stepped off a flight. In March this year, in an interview with NDTV, Alka Yagnik opened up about her continued struggles, confirming that she had to pause all new singing projects and recordings.
Alka Yagnik is one of the iconic Bollywood playback singers who defined 1990s and 2000s Hindi cinema. She is being recognised globally as one of the most streamed artists of all time. Some of the tracks which became chartbusters are the Kuch Kuch Hota Hai title track, Ghoonghat ki Aad Se from Hum Hai Rahi Pyar Ke, Ek Do Teen from Tezaab and Agar Tum Sath Ho from Tamasha, among others.
