Hey music lovers, it’s DJ Shilpi here with some heartfelt news. The beloved playback singer Alka Yagnik recently shared a deeply personal and challenging health battle. Diagnosed with a rare sensory neural nerve hearing loss due to a viral attack, Alka Ji took to social media to inform her fans and seek their support during this difficult time.

In her emotional Instagram post, Alka ji recounted the alarming moment when she realized something was wrong: “A few weeks ago, as I walked out of a flight, I suddenly felt I was not able to hear anything.” This unexpected setback has been a significant challenge for her, but she remains hopeful and resilient.

Alka Ji’s message is not just a personal update but also a word of caution for everyone, especially her fans and younger colleagues in the music industry. She highlighted the dangers of exposure to loud music and the frequent use of headphones, something I can relate to deeply. Being in the DJ industry for so many years, constantly exposed to loud music and regular headphone use, I’ve also faced my share of hearing issues. Often, I find myself asking people to speak a bit louder so I can hear them properly. This makes Alka Ji’s cautionary advice resonate even more with me.

The music community has shown tremendous support, with heartfelt messages from fellow artists like Shreya Ghoshal, Kumar Sanu, A.R. Rahman, Sonu Nigam, Javed Ali, and Shilpa Rao, all wishing her a speedy recovery. 

Alka Ji’s courage in sharing her story is inspiring, and her call for caution resonates deeply. Let’s all keep her in our prayers and support her through this tough journey. Your love and understanding mean the world to her as she aims to recalibrate her life and hopefully return to the spotlight when she’s ready.

Stay strong, Alka ji. We’re all rooting for you and wishing you a swift recovery. 💖🙏
