Veteran singer Alka Yagnik has finally spoken about the video that worried many of her fans after the Padma Bhushan ceremony. A clip showing her sitting in a wheelchair after the event quickly spread online and made many people wonder if her health had become worse.
After seeing the concern from fans, Alka decided to clear the confusion herself. She shared a note on social media and explained that there was nothing serious. According to her, she was simply tired after a long and emotional day.
She said that she is doing well and recovering positively.
In her message, Alka thanked everyone for their love, concern, and prayers. She said she understands why people were worried after watching the video, but she wanted to assure them that she was okay.
She explained that after attending the Padma Bhushan ceremony and spending a long day there, she felt very tired. Because of that, she asked for a wheelchair while leaving the venue.
Alka wrote, “Please do not worry. I am feeling much better.”
Her words gave relief to her fans, many of whom had been sending messages and prayers after seeing the video.
The singer also thanked the President of India, the Prime Minister, the Ministry of Home Affairs, and the Government of India for giving her the prestigious Padma Bhushan award.
