Overview
- Yagnik, who told NDTV on Monday she is "still suffering," said composers approach her but she cannot accept new recording jobs.
- In 2024 she disclosed a rare sensorineural hearing loss, a nerve-related inner‑ear condition her doctors linked to a sudden viral attack after a flight.
- Her voice was last heard on Naram Kaalja in Imtiaz Ali’s 2024 film Amar Singh Chamkila, composed by A. R. Rahman, with no new releases since.
- Earlier this year the Government of India awarded her the Padma Bhushan, even as she has stayed largely out of studios and public events.
- In the same interview she lamented that "music today has lost its soul," and health reporters note such viral-linked hearing loss often needs long-term management.
