Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday reached out to the family of renowned folk singer Sharda Sinha as she battles a critical health condition at AIIMS Delhi. Modi personally spoke with her son, Anshuman Sinha, assuring the family of full support for her treatment as she continues to fight multiple myeloma, a form of blood cancer she has been battling since 2018.

Anshuman Sinha, who has been actively updating the public and fans through social media, expressed gratitude for the Prime Minister’s gesture. In a conversation with news agency ANI, he confirmed that PM Modi had given his full assurance of support, a significant comfort to the family and well-wishers across the nation.

Sharda Sinha’s Health Deteriorates

Sharda Sinha, 72, was placed on a ventilator at AIIMS on Monday night after her health worsened. Dr. Rima Dada, the professor in charge of media at AIIMS Delhi and a leading figure in the Department of Anatomy, stated that Sinha remains hemodynamically stable—a medical term indicating stable blood pressure and heart rate—but is under continuous monitoring due to the severity of her condition.

The singer’s sudden health decline has triggered an outpouring of support from fans, especially given her iconic status in Indian folk music. Sinha’s health status has resonated deeply with the public, as many regard her as a cultural representative of Bihar and its traditional music. Her songs, especially those dedicated to Chhath Puja, have long been cherished by audiences nationwide.

About Sharda Sinha

Sharda Sinha, a distinguished figure in Indian folk music, has spent decades bringing the sounds of Maithili, Bhojpuri, and Magahi languages to audiences across the globe.

Over the years, Sinha’s dedication to preserving and promoting the traditional sounds of Bihar has made her a revered cultural ambassador.

In recognition of her contribution to Indian music, Sinha has received some of the nation’s most prestigious awards. She was honored with the Padma Shri in 1991, and later, the Padma Bhushan in 2018.
