The legendary singer was admitted to the hospital after being tested positive for the novel Coronavirus earlier in January. She was on the ventilator for weeks but then on January 28, she was taken off the ventilator as she showed signs of improvement. Unfortunately, again her health condition has deteriorated, and she has been put back on the ventilator under the close observation of the doctors.

Several high-profile personalities have visited the hospital including Union Minister Piyush Goyal, filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar, and NCP leader Supriya Sule to check on the singer.

She was the oldest of the siblings, Meena Khadikar, Asha Bhosle, Usha Mangeshkar and Hridaynath Mangeshkar.
