Musician Hridaynath Mangeshkar is admitted to a hospital and is "doing well", his son, singer Adinath Mangeshkar said on Sunday. The 84-year-old musician, younger brother of Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhosle, will be discharged within ten days, Adinath said without divulging the cause of his hospitalisation. At the inaugural Lata Deenanath Mangeshkar Award, Adinath addressed the gathering and said it was his father who would always deliver the welcome address
and give information about the trust, but wasn't able to do it this year.
"All these years it was my father, Pandit Hridaynath Mangeshkar ji, who would deliver the welcome address and give information about our trust. This year he's unable to do so because he's in the hospital currently. By the grace of God, he will be back home in the next 8-10 days. He is stable and doing well," Adinath said during his speech at the Shanmukhananda hall.
