Melody queen Lata Mangeshkar celebrates her 85th birthday

The nightingale of India, Lata Mangeshkar, turns 84 today. The Sandalwood community wished the singer on the occasion. Singer Sonu Nigam, who has crooned n- number of songs for Kannada films tweeted, "It's our Goddess' birthday. Happy Birthday @mangeshkarlata ji.. Thank u 4 gracing this planet wth your voice, demeanor and grace. Love u." Lataji, who had sung the song Bellane Belagayithu for the 1967, Krantiveera Sangolli Rayanna, is not going to celebrate her birthday with fanfare. It has been reported that the veteran singer said that since her elder sister Meena lost her husband recently and also younger sister Asha is grieving the loss of her daughter, Lataji is not keen on celebrating her birthday. Though, it has also been reported that Hridayanath Mangeshkar, Lataji's brother, has planned a marathon eight-hour concert in Pune which is titled Didi Aur Main as a special homage. We wish the melody queen a very happy birthday!
