Zakir Hussain’s manager, Nirmala Bachani, and his friend, flautist Rakesh Chaurasia, also confirmed that the artist remains in a serious condition, though reports about his death were circulating widely. The family has asked his global fans to keep him in their prayers for a swift recovery.

The ministry later deleted the post and apologized for the error. His family continues to request privacy and support from the media during this difficult time.
