Numerous fan wishes continue to pour in, too, on the microblogging site.

On August 5, in a Facebook post, the singer had informed that he had suffered a very mild COVID-19 attack, following which he got himself hospitalised. "No one needs to worry about me and please don't call me to find out how I am. I am perfectly alright except the cold and fever. Fever has also subsided. In two days, I will be discharged and I will be home," Balasubrahmanyam had said in the video.

He had hoped to be discharged from hospital within a couple of days.

On Friday, MGM Healthcare issued a statement about the health condition of the singer, who had earlier tested COVID-19 positive. The statement said the singer is currently on life support.
