Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan to be honored with the prestigious Lata Mangeshkar Award for his outstanding contributions, joining a distinguished list of recipients.
A Sangeet Natak Akademi laureate (2018), Wadkar, 68, will be presented with a cash prize, a commendation and a memento as part of the award at a ceremony later, an official said.
For someone who has worked with the likes of Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhosle, Manna Dey, Jagjit Singh and has contributed to the soundtracks of popular movies including ‘Page 3’, ‘The Body’ and the recently released Nawazuddin Siddiqui-Bhumi Pednekar starrer ‘Afwaah’, the paradigm shift in Hindi film music is hard to ignore.
PM invoked Ustad Bismillah Khan while talking about how the popularity of some classical music instruments has decreased with time.
Born on September 28, 1929, Lata Mangeshkar began her career in 1942 at the age of 13. In a career spanning seven decades, the melody queen recorded songs for over a thousand Hindi films. She recorded her songs in over 36 regional Indian and foreign languages. She is known as the 'Queen of Melody' and 'India's Nightingale'.
Asha Bhosle said the life of Lata Mangeshkar had a lot of ups and downs. She also said, her sister never asked for anything but only lived a simple life and the following incidents proved the same.
While 'Naam Reh Jayegaa’, has been seen bringing us some worth remembering moments from the life of Lata Ji, this time Sonu Nigam revealed her interest in photography.
It is indeed an amazing experience for all Indians to relive the era with the melodic and timeless songs of the legendary singer.
Sonu Nigam and Javed Ali even gave a story of why Lataji was and always will be a legend.
The episode will also reveal the reason the icon never married and in a shocking insight, audiences will also find out who tried poisoning our national treasure; all on the next episode of ‘Naam Reh Jaayega’.
