According to the doctors, Mangeshkar has been detected with Covid-19 pneumonia. She had taken both the doses of the vaccine against Covid-19 and was waiting for the booster shot. “We need to wait and watch, as there is a lung involvement and we have to consider her age,” said Dr Pratit Samdani, internal physician and intensivist, under whose case she is admitted at Breach Candy.
In November 2019, Mangeshkar was admitted to the same hospital for treatment of pneumonia. She had breathing difficulties then and stayed in the hospital for close to 28 days.
