Happy birthday Lata ji! Read on for interesting facts about her

MUMBAI: Lata Mangeshkar, the Nightingale of India, is 91 years old. The singer has been ruling the industry for over five decades. Let's have a look at interesting facts about the legendary artist.

She was born as Hema in Indore on this day in 1929. Her name was later changed to Lata, inspired by ‘Latika,’ a popular character from her father’s play titled Bhaaw Bandhan.

Lata ji attended school only for a day because she wasn’t allowed to bring her sister Asha along with her.

In 1938, she sang publicly for first time at Nutan Theatre, Sholapur.

Raj Kapoor originally wanted to make Satyam Shivam Sunderam with Lataji in the lead.

The category of best playback singer at the Filmfare Awards was introduced in 1959 after Lata Mangeshkar’s protest.

Lata Mangeshkar was a recipient of the Bharat Ratna in the year 2001.
