I have seen the concern surrounding a video from the ceremony and would like to assure everyone that I am well and progressing positively in my recovery. After a long and memorable day at the Padma facilitation, I was simple fatigued and requested a wheelchair while leaving.” She added, “Please do not worry. I am feeling much better and remain deeply grateful for the prayers and support that continue to strengthen me. My heartfelt thanks to the Hon’ble President Of India, the Hon’ble Prime Minister, the Minister of Home Affairs and the Government of India for this tremendous honour. Let us celebrate this joyous occasion together. With gratitude and love, Alka Yagnik.” Fans showered love on Yagnik’s post and wished her a speedy recovery.
