Melody queen Lataji has recorded songs for over a thousand Bollywood films, and has sung in over 36 languages. She is known for her soulful melodies including Aayega Aanewala, Lag Jaa Gale and Ajeeb Dastaan Hai Ye.
Bharat Ratna Lataji made a heart-warming request to her fans on Twitter for her birthday this year, where she asked them to donate towards the brave Indian soldiers who guard our country, instead of sending her gifts.
Happy birthday, Lataji.
