New Delhi: Renowned playback singer Monali Thakur was rushed to a hospital after struggling to breathe during a live performance at the Dinhata Festival in Cooch Behar, West Bengal, on January 21. The distressing incident occurred mid-performance, forcing the singer to halt the show. A video from the event quickly went viral, showing Monali apologizing to the audience as she expressed feeling unwell.
“I sincerely apologize to you. I am very sick today. The show was on the verge of getting canceled,” Monali was heard saying in the video. Her sudden health scare prompted immediate medical attention, and she was first taken to the Dinhata Sub-District Hospital before being transferred to a private hospital in Cooch Behar for further treatment.
Thakur, known for her hit songs like Sawaar Loon and Moh Moh Ke Dhaage, is currently undergoing treatment. Fans and well-wishers have flooded social media with messages of support, hoping for her swift recovery.
This incident follows a similar occurrence earlier this month, when Monali walked off stage during a performance in Varanasi, citing mismanagement and concerns about the event’s safety. She later shared her concerns about the poor treatment of vendors and staff involved in the event and received an apology from the organizers.
As of now, Monali has not shared further health updates, but her team assures her that she is in stable condition and receiving proper care.
Fans continue to pray for the singer’s quick recovery, eagerly awaiting her return to the stage.
