Lata Mangeshkar is stable and recovering well, confirms filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar

Not very long ago, veteran singer Lata Mangeshkar was admitted to Breach Candy hospital after she complained of having difficulty in breathing. Her situation then was critical. She was admitted to Intensive Care Unit and was on ventilator. However, it now appears that the nightingale of India is recovering well.

Shobha De questioned on Twitter about her health. "Tell me it isn't true. Has India lost its nightingale? @mangeshkarlata," she wrote. Stating that the rumours were baseless, Madhur Bhandarkar replied stating, "No ma’am @DeShobhaa just spoke to Usha Tai.... Lata didi is stable and recovering well...let's pray for her speedy recovery."
