![]() She was 66 when she sang for Kajol in DDLJ. She has sung for old actresses like Madhubala, Meena Kumari, Rakhee, Jaya Bachchan, Hema Malini, but her voice suited for Sridevi and Madhuri too in many of their films. Nee romba nalla paadura! (You sing better!). The most funniest thing is when Kamal (read SPB, the debut singer) says to Rati (Read Lata, the legendary singer) Parava illaiye. But SPB got National Award for his version of Tere Mere Beech mein. She should have got an award for that song. Solah baras ki from the same movie is a classic. I used to listen to those songs when I was in 8th or 9th. Probably, the first Hindi song of Lata ji I wud hav heard recognising and liking her voice might be “ Tere me beech mein” from K.Balachander’s Ek Duuje Ke Liye. Evergreen “ Valaiyosai…” from Kamalhassan starrer Sathya and “ Engirundho Azhaikkum.” frm Karthik starrer En Jeevan Paadudhu. I became a gr8 fan of her when I was in Kolkata. She has dedicated her whole life for Music without getting married. She deserves the title “ Nightingale of India” I dont have age or experience to say about the legend. It’s too hard to believe her age as it’s still crystal- clear, with pitch and mainly it suits the young heroines too. Lata Mangeshkar – The nightingale of India turns 80 today.
