She currently has a medical condition for which she is receiving financial support from the district administration of Ludhiana. She underwent surgery for her gall bladder last year, at Guru Tegh Bahadur Charitable Hospital. Dr. S P Singh, her surgeon, said that she also suffered from a serious infection.

She was initially admitted to the hospital because she complained about a stomach ache, according to her son Gurdas Singh. Before the administration offered her help, singers like Inderjeet Nikku were outraged at the fact that someone who had helped preserve the culture of Punjab so well was not given due attention.
