Lata Mangeshkar
There is no hesitation in the fact that Lata Mangeshkar had a long career. While she was making a name for herself in the music industry, raising her four siblings and dedicating her life to cinema, her personal life was always shrouded in gossip columns. At one point, there were some rumors claiming to have links with some high profile names, the singer and her dignified silence on any link-up and romance rumors never fueled these reports. The legendary singer and Bharat Ratna awardee chose to remain single for the rest of her life.
While Mangeshkar mostly avoided answering questions about her personal life, on a rare occasion, the singer shared her thoughts on love, marriage and children and their seriousness in her life.
When asked who was the lucky person in her life and how love affected her, Lata told Hindustan Times, “Some things are only for the heart to know. Let me put it that way.”
Furthermore, he also spoke about the popular opinion that a woman is ‘imperfect’ until she is married and has children. “People talk all kinds of things, so learn to ignore them. Otherwise, it will be difficult to live a happy life. Negative and depressing energies should be kept away. I’ve always done that,” she said. Same interview from 2013.
Further, referring to an interview of Kiran Rao, where she touched upon the same subject, Nightingale of India said, “Bohut beautiful bola hai unho (She has spoken beautifully). First there is a feeling of happiness and fulfillment within oneself.” Finding is important, or else the dream of mere marriage or fulfillment with children loses its importance.”
Bharat Ratna Lata Mangeshkar passed away at 8:12 am on Sunday after a 28-day long battle with COVID-19, pneumonia and related issues, leaving behind a legacy that will be difficult to combat.
