Renowned Bengali singer Nachiketa Chakraborty was hospitalised late on Saturday night after experiencing unexpected chest discomfort. The 61-year-old artist, celebrated for his soulful songs and energetic performances, was admitted to a private hospital in Kolkata around 2:00 a.m. following a sudden health scare, according to reports from Anandabazar Patrika and other local media outlets.
Chakraborty had been performing at a series of consecutive events over the past week. Sources indicate that the continuous schedule may have contributed to physical strain, culminating in a temporary cardiac issue. Doctors performing the emergency procedure inserted two stents to address the heart problem. Medical staff have confirmed that the singer’s condition is now stable and he is responding positively to treatment.
Speaking about her father’s recovery, Dhansiri Chakraborty, his daughter, said, “My father is much better than before. He had performed at several events, and when he fell ill suddenly, we took him to hospital immediately. There was a temporary heart issue, but now he is much healthier.”
Friends and associates close to the singer noted that, despite various minor health issues in the past, Nachiketa had no previous history of heart disease. The recent intensive performance schedule appears to have played a role in triggering the incident. Due to his condition, his performance scheduled for Sunday in Asansol was cancelled, and additional shows planned in the coming days have also been postponed to allow him sufficient recovery time.
Fans have expressed concern on social media, sending messages of support and wishing for his speedy recovery. Medical experts emphasise the importance of rest and careful monitoring following the insertion of cardiac stents, especially for individuals with demanding professional commitments.
