Mehdi Hassan alive and recovering in the hospital: Death rumours confirmed fake!

There were a lot of noises in the air pertaining the death of Mr. Mehdi Hassan but it has been confirmed now that by the grace of Allah the legendary singer is alive and recovering as well, Alhamdulillah.

The Indian-born singer Mehdi Hassan, who is widely considered by many as ‘King of ghazal’, is currently in the Special Care Unit of the Agha Khan University Hospital in Karachi and the doctors have confirmed that he is now responding to the treatment.

The 84-year-old Mehdi Hassan, also known as Ustad Mehdi Hassan, is suffering from a serious lung condition for the past many years as a result to which he was admitted in the hospital a few days back. Mr. Hassan was put on the ventilator but now it has been removed, thanks to millions of people who prayed for his health.

Mehdi Hassan’s son, Asif Mehdi, explained his father’s condition to the media when the last time he was interviewed. At that time Mehdi’s condition was much serious but now he is improving.

“He is still in the ICU and doctors are looking after him round the clock. All we can do now is pray for him and hope Allah gives him life,” said Hassan’s son, Asif Mehdi himself a singer.

“He had trouble in breathing (on Tuesday). We immediately rushed him to the hospital. He is in ICU but there is no positive response from the doctors about his condition,” Arif said.

“We have been feeding him through tube for the past two years and for the past one month, he has even lost his voice, which mesmerized millions of his fans,” he added.

The Shahenshah-e-Ghazal was born in 1927 in Luna, Rajasthan and many over there are also praying for his health, as they know there can never be another Mehdi Hassan.

Let’s pray Mehdi Hassan, who has given us evergreen ghazals like ‘Ab Ke Hum Bichde’, ‘Patta Patta Boota Boota’, ‘Yeh Dhuan’, ‘Woh Dilnawaz’, ‘Magghan Baat’, ‘Arz-E-Nyaz’ and ‘Zindagi main tu sabhi’, recovers soon because he is certainly a great asset in the field classical singing.
