Sharda Sinha was undergoing treatment for multiple myeloma at AIIMS for a couple of weeks. She was admitted here after her health deteriorated.

This year too, ahead of Chhath, she released a song titled, Dukhva Mitaai Chhathi Maiya. However, the video was not recorded due to Sinha's health.

Her son Anshuman Sinha shared a note on Instagram, which read, "Meanwhile, while Maa's health battle continues, I am making a small effort and posting a video of Maa's new Chhath song Dukhva Mitaai Chhathi Maiya. After the audio release, I have made this video by combining a bunch of old beautiful memories of Maa with the beautiful scenery of Chhath Mahaparva with the help of my laptop and mobile data in the premises of AIIMS hospital. I hope you all will definitely give me your blessings. The request is that if anyone raises a finger or hand after watching the video, then it should be in prayer for Maa, in prayer for her to come back to life. I express my heartfelt gratitude to my unique brothers of this sudden project, due to whom this was possible."
