Sharing her take on the same, she said,
“Naa hi janam miley toh acha hain aur agar wakayi janam mila mujhe toh main Lata Mangeshkar banna nahi chahungi. Lata Mangeshkar ki jo taqleefein hain wo usko hi pata hain.”
(Translation: I don’t want to be reborn again. But if I do, I don’t want to be reborn as Lata Mangeshkar. Lata Mangeshkar’s problems are known by none but herself.)
The video resurfaced on the internet and got widely shared. What fans love the most is how Lata chuckles while talking about herself.
