Legendary
singer
SP
Balasubrahmanyam
who
was
hospitalized
recently
after
being
tested
positive
for
COVID-19
is
currently
on
the
path
to
recovery.
As
per
the
latest
(September
7,
2020)
update
shared
by
his
son
SP
Charan
on
social
media,
the
singer
has
tested
negative
but
still
remains
under
ventilator.
Sharing
that
the
team
of
doctors
was
expecting
an
improvement
in
the
lungs
of
SPB
so
they
could
remove
him
from
the
ventilator,
Charan
said,
"We
were
hoping
for
a
very
good
news
over
the
weekend.
We
were
expecting
dad's
lungs
to
improve
as
they
were
to
a
certain
point
where
we
could
remove
the
ventilator,
but
unfortunately,
we
are
still
not
at
that
point
we
actually
could
rid
him
off
the
ventilator.
But
the
good
news
is
dad
is
COVID
negative,
but
it
doesn't
matter
as
we
are
hoping
and
expecting
the
lungs
to
heal
fast.
They
are
healing
but
they
are
taking
some
time."
The
Saroja
actor
went
on
to
say
that
SP
Balasubrahmanyam
is
communicating
through
writings
and
is
also
looking
forward
to
the
season's
IPL
(Indian
Premier
League),
as
he
is
enjoying
watching
cricket
and
tennis
on
his
iPad.
Charan
further
added,
"Over
the
weekend
we
did
have
a
small
celebration
for
mom
and
dad
for
their
anniversary.
Dad
is
watching
a
lot
of
cricket
and
tennis
on
his
iPad.
He
is
happy
that
the
seasons
have
started.
He
is
looking
forward
for
IPL
and
he
is
writing
and
communicating
a
lot.
He
is
not
in
sedation.
He
is
clear
and
bright.
The
physiotherapy
is
going
on
as
planned."
The
1-minute-57-second
video
ended
with
SP
Charan
thanking
his
father's
fans
and
followers
across
the
world
for
keeping
the
74-year-old

in
their
prayers.
