The senior musician was admitted to the hospital earlier this year in April as a precautionary measure after he tested positive for COVID-19. Although he was soon discharged, he is reportedly still suffering from some health issues. Bappa Lahiri, who flew down from Los Angeles to attend to his ailing dad in April, has been in Mumbai ever since. He had reportedly revealed that his father was seeking treatment for a lung ailment when he was diagnosed with the virus. According to him, the senior composer has been advised not to talk as part of the recovery process and that is why onlookers have thought he lost his voice. He also went on to add clarify that his father’s spirits are still high and he plans to record a Durga Puja song with Bengali actress Rituparna Sengupta. On March 17, Bappi Lahiri had made a post on social media, revealing that he had pre-registered for the COVID-19 vaccine. He also urged all those over the age of 60, and also those aged between 45-59 with a specified co-morbidity, to do the same.
