MUMBAI: Legendary singer Lata Mangeshkar was admitted to Breach Candy Hospital’s Intensive Care Unit in the early hours of Monday after she complained of breathing problems, hospital sources said.

The singer, who turned 90 on September 28, is in a critical condition, they said.

“She was brought to the hospital at about 2 am. She is critical and in the ICU,” a hospital insider said.

Mangeshkar’s younger sister Usha said the singer had a viral infection and should be discharged by Tuesday.

In a career spanning over seven decades, the Indore-born Mangeshkar has lent her voice to thousands of songs in over 1,000 Hindi films as well as in various regional and foreign languages.
