Renowned folk singer Sharda Sinha has been admitted to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Delhi due to health complications, the hospital confirmed on Tuesday (November 5). Prime Minister Narendra Modi is closely monitoring her condition and has expressed his prayers for her swift recovery.

Sharda Sinha, the acclaimed Bihar folk singer and Padma Bhushan recipient, is hospitalised in New Delhi on ventilator support.

Sharda Sinha's son, Anshuman Sinha, has been updating fans about her health through various social media platforms. Anshuman told ANI that PM Modi personally assured him of all necessary support for her treatment.

Sharda Sinha has been fighting multiple myeloma, a type of blood cancer, since 2018. Her health got worse on November 4, 2024, and she is now in critical condition.

S: Sharda Sinha’s battle for life comes just weeks after she lost her husband — whom she described as the wind beneath her wings — to brain haemorrhage.

Sharda Sinha, also called Bihar Kokila, is currently on ventilator support and PM Modi has reached out to her family in these tough times. The folk singer is one of the most popular artists that Bihar has given to the country.
