The iconic Indian singer Alka Yagnik, known for evergreen songs like 'Agar Tum Saath Ho' and 'Chaand Chupa Badal Mein', recently shared an emotional note on her social media, announcing heartbreaking news to her fans and followers. She revealed that she was diagnosed with a rare hearing disorder. 

On Tuesday, June 18, Alka took to her Instagram and posted a picture of herself along with the news. She wrote, "To all my fans, friends, followers and well wishers.
A few weeks ago, as I walked out of a flight, I suddenly felt I was not able to hear anything. 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. "

 

 

She added, "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…"

The post caught the attention of several of her fans and industry colleagues, like Sonu Nigam, Shankar Mahadevan, and Ila Arun. They all wished her a speedy recovery and good health. Shankar Mahadevan commented, "Praying for your speedy recovery Alkaji !! You are going to be absolutely ok and rocking as usual ! Loads of love and best wishes."
