“Lataji sung so many songs for me in movies like ‘Kora Kagaz,’ Hum Aur Tum,’ ‘Daag’, `Raina Beeti Jaaye` (Amar Prem) and `Chanda Hai Tu, Mera Sooraj Hai Tu` from ‘Aradhana’, which my granddaughter (Inaaya Naumi Kemmu ) sings now. She places on the tv and is mesmarised by that tune. My private favorite is `Kuch Dil Ne Kaha` from ‘Anupama’.
I used to be just a little baby once I was taken to look at ‘Mahal’ and the one factor I keep in mind is the tune `Aayega Aanewala`, with Madhubala on the swing. Then after all there was ‘Mughal-e-Azam’. India’s historical past and evolution is linked to Lataji. She sang for many years as a result of her voice was completely pure. Lots of people drive their voice to sound a sure method, however hers was God-gifted. I’ve watched her sing; these days individuals would file with orchestra, and hers was inevitably first-take okay. She sang in so many languages with good pronunciation. Her voice is incomparable and can stay immortal.
Lataji was very keen on cricket. My husband Tiger was an incredible admirer of her voice. He met her and took a gorgeous {photograph} together with her. During these days, all matches had been performed on the Cricket Club of India and Lataji used to attend each match. I’d usually see her on the Patiala Pavilion.
I used to be nominated for the Lata Mangeshkar Awards in 2020, which acquired postponed as a result of Covid. Lataji known as me once more in 2021. At that point, I used to be scared due to the second wave and requested them to provide it to me this 12 months. It’s an enormous remorse that I won’t be able to obtain it from her. It would have been such a beautiful second, which I’ve been denied now. There`s additionally remorse that I didn’t go final 12 months when she had invited me personally. It was the final time I spoke to her.”
