She has proven herself to be one of the most adaptable singers in Bollywood. On September 28, 1929, she was born in Indore to classical singer Pandit Deenanath Mangeshkar and his wife, Shevanti. Since her father was a musician, Lata Mangeshkar was exposed to music from a young age. Lata’s other famous siblings are the singers Meena Asha Usha and Hridaynath. They all learned to sing from their father.
As she kept producing smash hits for Bollywood, she quickly became a go-to for composers and moviemakers. In excess of a thousand Hindi films and thirty-six regional films include her singing. The music business was catapulted to new heights by her tasteful song selection and expert delivery. Almost every famous actress of the era would have had a song sung by Lata Mangeshkar.
Madhubala and Priyanka Chopra are just two of the many Bollywood actresses who have appeared in Lata Mangeshkar’s tunes. She performed both traditional gazals and popular standards. Lata Mangeshkar’s death has not diminished the indelible mark she left on the Bollywood film industry in India, nor on the hearts of her many fans.
