Unknown facts about Lata Mangeshkar
Fondly termed as Didi and the Nightingale of India, Lata Mangeshkar rules a million hearts. The legendary singer has been in the news recently since the sad demise of yesteryear actress Nanda. Social networking sites were abuzz with the news of the fake death of Lata Mangeshkar post Nanda’s passing away. Creating a trend on social media, Lata Mangeshkar does not need to be in the news to create a stir. She’s a name in herself and second to none! Here are a few unknown facts about India’s most talented singer and legend.
- Lata Mangeshkar, as most know, is the daughter of Pandit Deenanath Mangeshkar, (a theatre actor and classical singer) and Shevanti (Shudhamati). Born on 28th September 1929, Lata was not her original name. She was born as Hema but rechristened later as Lata after a famous character Latika from her father’s play Bhaaw Bandhan. Lataji started singing at the age of five and studied the fine art of music with Aman Ali Khan Sahib and Amanat Khan, established and famous singers of that time. When Lata Mangeshkar entered the film industry as a playback singer, she was rejected because in that era, signers like Noor Jehan and Shamshad Begum ruled the roost with their heavy nasal voices. Lata didi’s voice was considered too thin for that time. She acted in over eight films from the year 1942-1948 due to the sad demise of her father who passed away in 1942, leaving Lataji to fend for her family. With no success in these films, she debuted with playback singing for the Marathi film Kiti Hasaal (1942) but the song never saw the light of day as it was edited form the film. Lata Mangeshkar Biography
- It is said that she moved India’s first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru to tears when she sang the song Aye Mere Watan Ke Logon, Zara Aankh Me Bhar Lo Pani. 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. She apparently has a permanent gallery reserved for her at the Lord’s Stadium from where she enjoys watching her favourite game- Cricket. She became the first Indian in 1974 to have performed in the Royal Albert Hall, London. It is said that Lata didi believes that her voice suits actress Saira Banu’s the best!
