Lata’s younger sister, Usha Mangeshkar also revealed that she is unable to meet her sister as it is a Coronavirus case. Talking to the Times Of India, Usha said: “We cannot go to see Didi as it is a COVID case. There are sufficient doctors and nurses there, though.” Further, she said that Lata will not be discharged very soon. “The doctors have said that they would keep her for an extra day or two because of her age,” said Usha.
