The 92-year-old singer was admitted to the ICU of Breach Candy Hospital on January 11 after testing positive for COVID-19.
Veteran singer Lata Mangeshkar, who was admitted to a hospital in Mumbai for over a month, worsened on Saturday, her doctor said.
“Lata Mangeshkar-Yes He is in the ICU (Intensive Care Unit) and is undergoing aggressive treatment. Her condition is critical but she is tolerating and responding to treatment,” said Dr Pratit Samdhani of Breach Candy Hospital, where Ms Mangeshkar is admitted. He is on ventilator support and his condition is critical.
On Saturday, Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray visited the hospital but did not speak to the media. Mr Thackeray shares family ties with the Mangeshkar family.
