Birthday post alert. Courtesy: Shraddha Kapoor. The actress has shared a picture on the occasion of her “aaji [grandmother]” legendary singer Lata Mangeshkar's birthday. The frame from her family album features Shraddha sitting next to Lata Mangeshkar and her sister Usha Mangeshkar. We can also spot Shraddha's mother Shivangi Kapoor and aunt, actress Padmini Kolhapure. As for the caption, Shraddha decided to keep it simple with a “happy birthday, Lata aaji” note. She also added a purple heart emoji to it. The entire clan look happy as they pose for the camera. Now, most of you must be wondering how is Shraddha related to the iconic singer? We have the answer. Her late maternal grandfather, singer Pandit Pandharinath Kolhapure, was Lata Mangeshkar's cousin.
After mining through Shraddha Kapoor's timeline, we found this hidden gem. This evergreen moment was shared by the actress long back.
