Zakir Hussain is still alive, he is very critical but still breathing: Sister

Following reports of tabla maestro Zakir Hussain's death, his sister Khurshid Aulia told The Indian Express, "He's still alive." She added, "I'm in touch with the family. He is very critical, but he is still breathing." The Union Ministry of Information and Broadcasting had also posted tribute to Zakir following reports of his demise. However, it deleted the post later.
