Veteran playback singer Alka Yagnik made a rare public appearance on Tuesday to receive the Padma Bhushan Award from President Droupadi Murmu at the Rashtrapati Bhavan. She appeared visibly frail during the event, and later opened up about her health concern in an Instagram post.
Singer Shaan, who has worked with the singer in many songs, has now given a sweet shoutout to her in the comments and wished for a speedy recovery.
Alka addressed concerns about her health, revealing that she has been staying away from public appearances as she is “slowly finding my way back.”
Talking about her health, Alka wrote, “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.”
Alka has been a part of several iconic songs, including Choli Ke Peeche from Khalnayak, Dil Ne Yeh Kaha Hai Dil Se from Dhadkan, Hum Tum from Hum Tum, Ghoongat Ki Aad Se from Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai from Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, among others.
