So, what’s the latest masala in B-town? Our beloved playback queen, Alka Yagnik, has just dropped a bombshell on Instagram, leaving us all gasping for breath.

Alka, the voice behind countless Bollywood hits, recently revealed she’s battling a rare sensory neural nerve hearing loss. Yup, you heard it right (no pun intended)! The songbird’s wings have been clipped by an unexpected ‘major setback’.

The diva took to Instagram to share her plight and, let’s just say, the post was longer than a Karan Johar movie monologue. In her heartfelt note, Alka asked for understanding and prayers. Here’s a snippet of her emotional outpour:

“To all my fans, friends, followers, and well-wishers. A few weeks ago, as I walked out of a flight, I suddenly felt I was not able to hear anything. Having mustered some courage in the weeks following the episode, I want to break my silence now for all my friends and well-wishers who have been asking me why I’m missing in action.”

“It has been diagnosed by my docs as a rare sensory neural nerve hearing loss, due to a viral attack… This sudden, major setback has caught me completely unaware. As I attempt to come to terms with it please keep me in your prayers.”

Alka also threw in a PSA for all you headphone addicts out there. She warned, “For my fans and young colleagues, I would add a word of caution regarding exposure to very loud music and headphones. One day, I wish to share the health perils of my professional life. With all your love and support I am hoping to recalibrate my life and come back to you soon. Your support and understanding will mean the world to me in this critical hour.”

Now, let’s talk brass tacks. Alka Yagnik, the melodious nightingale, has been the backbone of Bollywood music for decades. While she’s currently on a hiatus, she recently lent her voice to songs in the movies ‘Crew’ and ‘Amar Singh Chamkila’. I mean, she’s 58 but still hitting those high notes like a pro. 🎤
