Alka
Yagnik,
who
has
given
Bollywood
so
many
chartbusters
in
her
long
career
over
four
decades,
shared
some
heart-breaking
news
with
her
fans
on
social
media.
‘A
few
weeks
ago,
as
I
walked
out
of
a
flight,
I
suddenly
felt
I
was
not
able
to
hear
anything,’
she
posted.
‘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
unawares.
‘As
I
attempt
to
come
to
terms
with
it
please
keep
me
in
your
prayers.
‘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.’
Her
colleagues
from
the
music
industry
immediately
reached
out
to
her
with
words
of
encouragement.
Sonu
Nigam:
I
knew
something
was
not
right..
I’ll
see
you
when
I
get
back..God
speed
your
recovery.

Arun:
So
sorry
to
hear
this.
But

Kakar:
You
are

sooner
than
we
