SP
Balasubrahmanyam
has
been
undergoing
treatment
in
Chennai's
MGM
Healthcare
after
testing
positive
for
COVID-19
on
August
5.
The
74-year-old
singer
suffered
a
major
setback
in
his
health
on
August
14,
and
has
been
put
on
life
support
since
then.
Ever
since
the
news
came
out,
his
fans
started
praying
for
his
speedy
recovery.
Recently,
SP
Balasubrahmanyam's
son
Sripathi
Panditharadhyula
Charan
aka
SP
Charan
shared
an
update
on
his
ailing
father's
health
on
Facebook.
Charan
shared
a
video
of
himself
on
his
Facebook
handle,
in
which
he
revealed
that
SPB's
health
condition
is
improving
but
he
is
"still
on
life
support".
SP
Charan
said,
"My
dad
was
shifted
from
the
third
floor
ICU
to
an
exclusive
ICU
room
on
the
sixth
floor.
The
shifting
took
some
time,
and
they
had
to
set
him
up.
The
pleasant
news
is,
there
is
some
mobility.
Dad
is
moving
around
a
little
bit.
He
showed
thumbs-up
sign
to
the
doctors.
He
is
able
to
recognize
the
doctors.
He
is
still
on
life
support.
He
is
breathing
a
little
more
comfortably
than
a
few
days
back.
Doctors
see
it
as
a
very
good
sign."

The
singer's
son
also
revealed
that
his
father's
body
is
responding
well
to
the
treatment.
However,
he
will
not
talk
for
a
while
now.
SP
Charan
further
said,
"He
is
on
the
road
towards
getting
better.
There
is
a
lot
of
effort
from
the
medical
team.
This
will
take
a
long
time
but
we
are
all
hopeful.
The
recovery
is
not
going
to
happen
in
one
of
two
days
or
even
a
week.
But
surely,
he
is
going
to
heal
and
recover.
He
is
looking
good.
He
is
not
fully
sedated
now.
He
is
able
to
recognize
people.
He
will
not
talk
for
a
little
while
but
surely,
he
will
get
to
that
level
soon
enough.
Let's
all
keep
praying.
My
family
and
I
are
indebted
for
the
love,
affection
and
prayers
you
are
showering
on
us."
For

Updating
his
mother's
health,

better
