As her treatment is going on, the doctor also said that people need to pray for her recovery. At this point, no one is allowed to meet her.

Earlier, Mangeshkar’s niece Rachana Shah had said the singer was admitted to the ICU as she required “constant care” due to her age.

In her over seven-decade career, she has sung various memorable tracks such as “Ajeeb dastan hai ye”, “Pyar kiya to darna kya”, “Neela asman so gaya”, and “Tere liye”, among others.

The singer — known as Nightingale of India — has been lauded with numerous awards and honors including the Padma Bhushan, the Padma Vibhushan and the Dada Saheb Phalke Award, and multiple National Film Awards.

She is also a recipient of the Bharat Ratna, India’s highest civilian honour.
