You must have heard this one of the best patriotic songs till date with assured goosebumps and tears in your tears while remembering our martyrs. Songs like this are meant to move even the hardest of hearts or finest of authorities when Nightingale of India sing it for you. The same seemed to happen with our former or first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru Ji. This was in 1962 when India lost the war to China and Pandit Ji apparently said to her that she had moved him to tears.

In 1974, she performed in Royal Albert Hall of London and became the first Indian to do so. It is said that Lata didi believes that her voice suits actress Saira Banu’s best!. She also had a permanent gallery reserved for her at the Lord’s Stadium from where she enjoyed watching her favourite game- Cricket.

As her popularity soared, everyone wanted to associate with India’s nightingale. In 1999, the perfume Lata Eau de Parfum was launched. The same year, she was nominated as a Member of Parliament. However, due to ill health, the noted singer could not attend the sessions in Rajya Sabha which drew a lot of flack.

Lataji is everyone’s favourite singer. But who is her favourite singer?

Well, Lataji idolises the late Kundan Lal Saigal. She bought every album featuring Saigalsaab’s songs and when the radio played his songs, she would drop everything to listen. Sadly, she never met her idol during his lifetime.

Pandit Dinanath Mangeshkar

As everyone knows, she is a daughter of Pandit Dinanath Mangeshkar who was a well-known Marathi theatre actor, a renowned Natya Sangeet musician and a Hindustani classical vocalist. Lataji learnt singing from her father but unfortunately, she never did spend much time with him, as he passed away quite young. Not being able to spend time with her father remains an eternal regret.

Lata Mangeshkar and her sister Asha Bhosle are incomparable as they both are best in their own ways but many times offers got exchanged between both. Lataji’s sister Asha Bhosle says the iconic song, Ae Mere Watan Ke Logon was meant to be her song. Composer C.Ramachandra wanted it to be a duet with the two sisters while Ashaji wanted it as a solo. And Asha Bhosle’s Dum Maro Dum from the film Hare Rama Hare Krishna was actually planned to be executed by Lataji as composer R D Burman offered the song to her but it was actually Lataji who suggested that the song suited Ashaji more.
