Bollywood’s iconic playback singer Alka Yagnik left fans off-guard after revealing that she’s been diagnosed with a rare sensory hearing loss that has kept her out of the limelight for some time now. Alka penned a note on Instagram sharing why she’s been missing in action. 

The 90s queen wrote, “To all my fans, friends, followers and well-wishers. A few weeks ago, as I walked out of a flight, I suddenly felt I was not able to hear anything. Having mustered some courage in the weeks following the episode, I want to break my silence now for all my friends and well-wishers who have been asking me why I’m missing in action.”
