Details about the reason of her hospitalisation are not yet known.
"Maa…this isn't a mere word but it captures a range of emotions. Today, 18th June is the day my Mother Heeraba enters her 100th year. On this special day, I have penned a few thoughts expressing joy and gratitude," Modi tweeted after meeting her in June.
In the blogpost, Modi called her a "symbol of resilience," someone who finds happiness in others' joys.
“My mother is as simple as she is extraordinary. Just like all mothers,” he said.
