A report in The Hindu quoted a source as saying that the singer was undergoing a keyhole surgery and that her parameters looked good.
The singer may be airlifted to Chennai later, reports quoted sources as saying.
She had reportedly complained of neck pain last night and didn’t come down for breakfast and lunch, as per reports. Later, she was found lying unconscious and was rushed to the hospital.
