False information: Singer Monali Thakur dismisses hospitalisation reports

Singer Monali Thakur broke her silence on the reports claiming that she was hospitalised after facing breathing issues during a concert in Cooch Behar.

In Short

• Monali Thakur denied her hospitalisation reports
• She released a statement mentioning she had a flu relapse, not a breathing issue
• The singer urged the media to avoid unverified news

Singer Monali Thakur on Thursday released an official statement dismissing the reports stating that she was hospitalised following breathing issues during a concert. The 39-year-old singer shared a long note on her social media accounts, thanking her fans for their concern, and added that she was doing fine, and it was simply a case of 'flu relapse'.

Monali's statement called the reports about her hospitalisation 'unverified'. She shared that she went to get medical help after her performance because she was suffering from migraine and 'severe sinus'.

The statement read, "Dear media and everyone concerned for my health, I hope you're doing well. I'm writing this to request that no unverified news about my health be shared. I truly appreciate all the love and concern, but I want to make it clear that I am not dealing with any breathing issues and I was not admitted to any hospital. That's false information (sic)."

"I was feeling unwell recently due to not getting enough time to recover from a viral infection/flu causing it to relapse and cause a slightly severe sinus and migraine discomfort and pain in flights. That's all there is to it. I'm now back in Mumbai, getting treatment, resting, and recovering. I'll be absolutely fine in no time (sic)," it further shared.
