She has been honoured with some of India’s highest awards, including the Dadasaheb Phalke Award and the Padma Vibhushan, further cementing her legacy as a cultural icon.
Family sources also indicated that doctors are taking a cautious approach given her age, ensuring she receives round-the-clock care and observation. While there is no immediate cause for alarm, medical teams are prioritising rest and recovery to stabilise her condition fully.
