Early life [edit]

/ Gõychi Lata Mangeshkar was born in 1929, the eldest daughter of Pandit
Konknni
Deenanath Mangeshkar, a Marathi musician and his Gujarati wife
Shevanti[6] in Indore (today in Madhya Pradesh and then the capital of the
Հայերեն
princely state of Indore which was part of the Central India Agency in
Bahasa Indonesia British India). Her father, Pandit Deenanath Mangeshkar, was a classical singer and theatre actor. Her mother,
Italiano Shevanti (later renamed Shudhamati), a Gujarati woman from Thalner, Bombay Presidency (now in northwest
Maharashtra), was Deenanath's second wife; his first wife Narmada, who had died, was Shevanti's older sister. [7]

Early career in the 1940s [edit]

In 1942, when Lata was 13, her father died of heart disease. Master Vinayak (Vinayak Damodar Karnataki), the owner
Українська of Navyug Chitrapat movie company and a close friend of the Mangeshkar family, took care of them. He helped Lata

get started in a career as a singer and actress.

Nevrekar for Vasant Joglekar's Marathi movie Kiti Hasaal (1942), but the song was dropped from the final cut. Vinayak
gave her a small role in Navyug Chitrapat's Marathi movie Pahili Mangalaa-gaur (1942), in which she sang "Natali

Chaitraachi Navalaai" which was composed by Dada Chandekar.[8] Her first Hindi song was "Mata Ek Sapoot Ki Duniya
Badal De Tu" for the Marathi film Gajaabhaau (1943).

Lata moved to Mumbai in 1945 when Master Vinayak's company moved its headquarters there. She started taking
lessons in Hindustani classical music from Ustad Aman Ali Khan of Bhindibazaar Gharana. [9][10] She sang "Paa Lagoon
Kar Jori" for Vasant Joglekar's Hindi-language movie Aap Ki Seva Mein (1946),[8] which was composed by Datta
Davjekar. The dance in the film was performed by Rohini Bhate who later became a famous classical dancer. Lata and
her sister Asha played minor roles in Vinayak's first Hindi-language movie, Badi Maa (1945). In that movie, Lata also
sang a bhajan, "Maata Tere Charnon Mein." She was introduced to music director Vasant Desai during the recording of
Vinayak's second Hindi-language movie, Subhadra (1946).

After Vinayak's death in 1948, music director Ghulam Haider mentored her as a singer. He introduced Lata to producer
Sashadhar Mukherjee, who was working then on the movie Shaheed (1948), but Mukherjee dismissed Lata's voice as
"too thin".[8] An annoyed Haider responded that in coming years producers and directors would "fall at Lata's feet" and
"beg her" to sing in their movies. Haider gave Lata her first major break with the song "Dil Mera Toda, Mujhe Kahin Ka
Na Chhora"—lyrics by Nazim Panipati—in the movie Majboor (1948), which became her first big breakthrough film hit.
In an interview on her 84th birthday, in September 2013, Lata herself declared, "Ghulam Haider is truly my Godfather.
He was the first music director who showed complete faith in my talent."[8][11]

Initially, Lata is said to have imitated the acclaimed singer Noor Jehan, but later she developed her own style of
singing.[8] Lyrics of songs in Hindi movies are primarily composed by Urdu poets and contain a higher proportion of
Urdu words, including the dialogue. Actor Dilip Kumar once made a mildly disapproving remark about Lata's
Maharashtrian accent while singing Hindi/Urdu songs; so for a period of time, Lata took lessons in Urdu from an Urdu
teacher named Shafi.[12] In subsequent interviews, Lata has said that Noor Jehan had heard her as a child and had told
her to practice a lot. The two stayed in touch with each other for many years to come.[13]

One of her first major hits was "Aayega Aanewaala," a song in the movie Mahal (1949), composed by music director
Khemchand Prakash and lip-synced on screen by actress Madhubala.[14]

1950s [edit]

In the 1950s, Lata sang songs composed by various music directors of the period, including Anil Biswas (in films such
as Tarana (1951) and Heer (1956)), Shankar Jaikishan, Naushad Ali, S. D. Burman, Amarnath, Husanlal, and
Bhagatram (in films like Bari Behen (1949), Meena Bazaar (1950), Aadhi Raat (1950), Chhoti Bhabi (1950), Afsana
(1951), Aansoo (1953), and Adl-e-Jehangir (1955)), C. Ramchandra, Hemant Kumar, Salil Chowdhury, Datta Naik,
Khayyam, Ravi, Sajjad Hussain, Roshan, Kalyanji-Anandji, Vasant Desai, Sudhir Phadke, Hansraj Behl, Madan
 Mohan, and Usha Khanna. She sang "Sri Lanka, Ma Priyadara Jaya Bhumi", a
song in Sinhalese, for the 1955 Sri Lankan film Seda Sulang. She made her
debut in Tamil playback singing with "Vanaradham" in 1956 (Uran Khotala
dubbed in Tamil) with the Tamil song "Enthan Kannalan" for Nimmi in the
dubbed version composed by Naushad.

Lata sang many raga-based songs for Naushad in movies such as Deedar
(1951), Baiju Bawra (1952), Amar (1954), Uran Khatola (1955) and Mother
India (1957).[14] Ae Chorre Ki Jaat Badi Bewafa, a duet with G. M. Durrani, was
her first song for composer, Naushad. The duo, Shankar-Jaikishan, chose Lata
for Barsaat (1949), Aah (1953), Shree 420 (1955) and Chori Chori (1956).
Before 1957, composer S. D. Burman chose Lata as the leading female singer
for his musical scores in Sazaa (1951), House No. 44 (1955), and Devdas
(1955). However a rift developed between Lata and Burman in 1957, and Lata
did not sing Burman's compositions again until 1962.[8]

Lata won a Filmfare Award for Best Female Playback Singer for Salil
Chowdhury's composition "Aaja Re Pardesi" from Madhumati (1958). In the
early fifties, Lata Mangeshkar's association with C. Ramchandra produced
Mangeshkar as a young woman
songs in movies such as Albela (1951), Shin Shinkai Bublaa Boo (1952),
Anarkali (1953), Pehli Jhhalak (1954), Azad (1955), Asha (1957) and
Amardeep (1958).[15] For Madan Mohan, she performed for films like Baagi (1953), Railway Platform (1955),
Pocketmar (1956), Mr. Lambu (1956), Dekh Kabira Roya (1957), Adalat (1958), Jailor (1958), Mohar (1959) and
Chacha Zindabad (1959).[16]

1960s [edit]

Lata's song "Pyar Kiya To Darna Kya" from Mughal-e-Azam (1960), composed by Naushad and pantomimed by
Madhubala, still remains famous. The Hawaiian-themed number "Ajeeb Dastaan Hai Yeh", from Dil Apna Aur Preet
Parai (1960), was composed by Shankar Jaikishan and pantomimed by Meena Kumari.

In 1961, Lata recorded two popular bhajans, "Allah Tero Naam" and "Prabhu Tero Naam", for Burman's assistant,
Jaidev. In 1962, she was awarded her second Filmfare Award for the song "Kahin Deep Jale Kahin Dil" from Bees Saal
Baad, composed by Hemant Kumar.

In early 1962, Lata was given slow poison. A doctor was called. He came with an x-ray machine to examine her, and
gave her an injection to render her unconscious, because she was in pain. For three days, she had a close brush with
death. After ten days, she began to recover. The doctor told her that somebody had given her slow poison. The slow
poison incident rendered her very weak. She was bedridden for nearly 3 months. The most surprising thing was that
soon after the incident, the cook who used to work at Lata's home, suddenly vanished without taking his wages. The
cook had earlier worked with some Bollywood people. Bollywood lyricist Majrooh Sultanpuri used to regularly visit Lata
at her home daily at 6 pm. Majrooh used to first taste the food and then allow Lata to eat. He used to recite poems and
stories to keep Lata in good humour.[17][dubious – discuss]

On 27 January 1963, against the backdrop of the Sino-Indian War, Lata sang the patriotic song "Aye Mere Watan Ke
Logo" (literally, "Oh, People of My Country") in the presence of Jawaharlal Nehru, then the Prime Minister of India. The
song, composed by C. Ramchandra and written by Kavi Pradeep, is said to have brought the Prime Minister to
tears.[8][18]

In 1963, Lata returned to collaboration with S. D. Burman. She also sang for R. D. Burman's very first film Chhote
Nawaab and later for his films such as Bhoot Bangla (1965), Pati Patni (1966), Baharon ke Sapne (1967) and Abhilasha
(1969). She also recorded several popular songs for S. D. Burman, including "Aaj Phir Jeene Ki Tamanna Hai", "Gata
Rahe Mera Dil" (duet with Kishore Kumar) and "Piya Tose" from Guide (1965), and "Hothon Pe Aisi Baat" from Jewel
Thief (1967).

During the 1960s, Lata Mangeshkar continued her association with Madan Mohan, which included the songs "Aap Ki
Nazron Ne Samjha" from Anpadh (1962), "Lag Jaa Gale" and "Naina Barse Rim Jhim" from Woh Kaun Thi? (1964),
"Woh Chup Rahen To" from Jahan Ara (1964), "Tu Jahan Jahan Chalega" from Mera Saaya (1966) and "Teri Aankho
Ke Siva" from Chirag (1969),[19] and she had a continuing association with the maestros Shankar Jaikishan, who got
her to sing in various genres in the '60s.

The 1960s also witnessed the beginning of Mangeshkar's association with Laxmikant-Pyarelal, the music directors for
whom she sang the most popular songs in her career. Starting in 1963, Laxmikant-Pyarelal's association with Lata
Mangeshkar grew stronger over the years. Lata Mangeshkar sang over 700 songs for the composer duo over a period
of 35 long years, most of which became huge hits. She sang for Parasmani (1963), Mr. X in Bombay (1964), Aaye Din
Bahar Ke (1966), Milan (1967), Anita (1967), Shagird (1968), Mere Hamdam Mere Dost (1968), Intaquam (1969), Do
Raaste (1969) and Jeene Ki Raah, for which she got her third Filmfare Award.[20]

She also sang several playback songs for Marathi films, composed by Marathi music directors including Hridaynath
Mangeshkar, Vasant Prabhu, Srinivas Khale, Sudhir Phadke and herself (under the name Anandghan). During the
1960s and 1970s, she also sang several Bengali songs, composed by music directors like Salil Chowdhury and
Hemant Kumar. She also made her Kannada debut in 1967 for the film Kranthiveera Sangolli Rayanna by recording
two songs for the music director Lakshman Berlekar. The song "Bellane Belagayithu" was well received and
appreciated.[citation needed]

In this period Lata Mangeshkar has recorded duets with Mukesh, Manna Dey, Mahendra Kapoor, Mohammed Rafi, and
Kishore Kumar. For a brief period during the 1960s, she was not on good terms with Mohammed Rafi over the issue of
royalty payments to singers. Mangeshkar wanted Rafi to back her in demanding a half-share from the five percent song
royalty that the film's producer conceded to select composers.[21] But Rafi took a diametrically opposite view, and
believed that a playback singer's claim on the filmmaker ended with the payment of the agreed fee for the song. This
led to tensions between the two. After an argument during the recording of the song Tasveer Teri Dil Mein (Maya,
1961), the two refused to sing with each other.[22] The music director Jaikishan later negotiated a reconciliation
between the two.[23]

1970s [edit]

In 1972, Meena Kumari's last film, Pakeezah, was released. It featured popular songs including "Chalte Chalte" and
"Inhi Logon Ne", sung by Lata Mangeshkar, and composed by Ghulam Mohammed. She recorded many popular songs
for S. D. Burman's last films, including "Rangeela Re" from Prem Pujari (1970), "Khilte Hain Gul Yahaan" from
Sharmeelee (1971), and "Piya Bina" from Abhimaan (1973). She recorded many popular songs for Madan Mohan's last
films, including Dastak (1970), Heer Raanjha (1970), Dil Ki Rahen (1973), Hindustan Ki Kasam (1973), Hanste Zakhm
(1973), Mausam (1975) and Laila Majnu (1976).[24]

Lata Mangeshkar's most notable songs in the 1970s were composed by Laxmikant-Pyarelal (Laxmi-Pyare) and Rahul
Dev Burman. She recorded several songs composed by Laxmi-Pyare in the 1960s and 1970s, many of them written by
the lyricist Anand Bakshi. She also recorded many hit songs with Rahul Dev Burman in the films Amar Prem (1972),
Caravan (1971), Kati Patang (1971), and Aandhi (1975). The two are noted for their songs with the lyricists Majrooh
Sultanpuri, Anand Bakshi and Gulzar.

In 1973, she won the National Film Award for Best Female Playback Singer for the song "Beeti Na Bitai" from the film
Parichay, composed by R. D. Burman, and written by Gulzar. In 1974, she sang her only Malayalam song "Kadali
Chenkadali" for the film Nellu, composed by Salil Chowdhury, and written by Vayalar Ramavarma. In 1975, she again
won the national award, this time for the song "Roothe Roothe Piya" from the film Kora Kagaz, composed by Kalyanji
Anandji.

From the 1970s onwards, Lata Mangeshkar has also staged many concerts in India and abroad, including several
charity concerts. Her first concert overseas was at the Royal Albert Hall, London, in 1974 and was the first Indian to do
so.[25][26] She also released an album of Mirabai's bhajans, "Chala Vaahi Des", composed by her brother Hridaynath
Mangeshkar. Some of the bhajans in the album include "Saanware Rang Raachi" and "Ud Jaa Re Kaaga". In the early
1970s, she released other non-film albums, such as her collection of Ghalib ghazals, an album of Marathi folk songs
(Koli-geete), an album of Ganesh aartis (all composed by her brother Hridaynath) and an album of "abhangs" of Sant
Tukaram composed by Shrinivas Khale.

In the 1978 Raj Kapoor directed Satyam Shivam Sundaram, Lata Mangeshkar lends her voice to the main theme song
"Satyam Shivam Sundaram", which was among the chart-toppers of the year. The story of being inspired by Lata
Mangeshkar is revealed by Raj Kapoor's daughter Ritu Nanda in her latest book.

I visualised the story of a man falling for a woman with an ordinary countenance but a golden voice and wanted to cast
Lata Mangeshkar in the role. The book quotes Raj Kapoor as saying.[27]

In the late 1970s and early 1980s, she worked with the children of composers she had earlier worked with. Some of
these composers included Rahul Dev Burman (son of Sachin Dev Burman), Rajesh Roshan (son of Roshan), Anu
Malik (son of Sardar Malik), and Anand-Milind (sons of Chitragupt). She also sang many songs in the Assamese
language and had a very good relationship with Dadasaheb Phalke award winner singing legend, the Late Bhupen
Hazarika. She sang many songs under his guidance, and in Rudaali the song "Dil hoom hoom kare" made the highest
record sales that year.

1980s [edit]

From the 1980s onwards, Lata Mangeshkar worked with music directors such as Shiv-Hari—in Silsila (1981), Faasle

was a chartbuster.[28] In the late 1980s, Mangeshkar made a comeback to Tamil films with two back-to-back renditions
of composer Ilayaraja's songs "Aaraaro Aaraaro" and "Valai Osai", for the films Anand (1987) and Sathya (1988),
respectively.

"Mujhe Chhoo Rahi Hain" in Swayamwar (1980), "Kabhi Kabhi Bezubaan" in Johnny I Love You (1982), "Tujh Sang
Preet" in Kaamchor (1982), "Angrezi Mein Khete Hai" in Khud-Daar (1982), "Ankhiyo Hi Ankhiyo Mein" in Nishaan
(1983), "Dushman Na Kare" in Aakhir Kyun? (1985) and "Wada Na Tod" in Dil Tujhko Diya (1987), later featured in the
soundtrack of the 2004 film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.[30]

Bappi Lahiri composed some songs for Lata, such as "Dooriyan Sab Mita Do" in Saboot (1980), "Baithe Baithe Aaj

"Hazaar Rahein Mud" (duet with Kishore Kumar) in Thodisi Bewafai (1980), "Simti Huyi" from Chambal Ki Kasam
(1980), "Na Jane Kya Hua" in Dard (1981), Nakhuda (1981) some above average Lata-Nitin Mukesh duets such as

"Chand Apna Safar" in Shama (1981), "Shayad Meri Shaadi" and "Zindagi Pyar Ka" in Souten (1983), "Hum Bhool
Gaye Re" in Souten Ki Beti (1989) for Usha Khanna, which was probably the biggest hit of her career. Hridaynath
Mangeshkar had "Kale Kale Gehre Saye" in Chakra (1981), "Ye Ankhen Dekh Kar", which had a slight Khaiyyam touch
and "Kuchh Log Mohabbat Ko" in Dhanwan (1981), "Mujhe Tum Yaad Karna" in Mashaal (1984), "Jaane Do Mujhe" in
Shahenshah (1989) for Amar-Utpal, "Sajan Mera Us Paar" in Ganga Jamuna Saraswati (1988) and "Mere Pyar Ki

In June 1985, the United Way of Greater Toronto invited Lata Mangeshkar to perform at Maple Leaf Gardens. At the
request of Anne Murray, Lata sang her song "You Needed Me". 12,000 attended the concert, which raised $150,000 for
the charity.[34][35]

1990s [edit]

During the 1990s, she recorded with music directors including Anand-Milind, Nadeem-Shravan, Jatin Lalit, Dilip Sen-
Sameer Sen, Uttam Singh, Anu Malik, Aadesh Shrivastava and A. R. Rahman. She recorded some non-film songs,
including ghazals with Jagjit Singh. She has also sung with Kumar Sanu, Amit Kumar, S. P. Balasubrahmanyam, Udit
Narayan, Hariharan, Suresh Wadkar, Mohammed Aziz, Abhijeet Bhattacharya, Roop Kumar Rathod, Vinod Rathod,
Gurdas Maan and Sonu Nigam.

In 1990, Mangeshkar launched her own production house for Hindi movies which produced the Gulzar-directed movie
Lekin.... She won her third National Film Award for Best Female Playback Singer for her rendition of the song "Yaara
Sili Sili" from the film, which was composed by her brother Hridaynath.

In 1999, Mangeshkar was nominated as a member of Rajya Sabha.[40] However, she did not attend the Rajya Sabha
sessions regularly, inviting criticism from several members of the House, including the Deputy Chairperson Najma
Heptullah, Pranab Mukherjee and Shabana Azmi.[41][42] She stated the reason for her absence as ill-health; it was also
reported that she had not taken a salary, allowance or a house in Delhi for being a Member of Parliament.[41][43]

2000s [edit]

In 2001, Lata Mangeshkar was awarded Bharat Ratna, India's highest civilian honour. In the same year, she
established the Master Deenanath Mangeshkar Hospital in Pune, managed by the Lata Mangeshkar Medical
Foundation (founded by the Mangeshkar family in October 1989). In 2005, she designed a jewellery collection called
Swaranjali, which was crafted by Adora, an Indian diamond export company. Five pieces from the collection raised
£105,000 at a Christie's auction, and a part of the money was donated for the 2005 Kashmir earthquake relief.[44] Also
in 2001, she recorded her first Hindi song with the composer Ilaiyaraaja, for the film Lajja; she had earlier recorded
Tamil and Telugu songs composed by Ilaiyaraaja.

On 12 April 2011, Mangeshkar released the album Sarhadein: Music Beyond Boundaries, which contains the rare duet
"Tera Milna Bahut Acha Lage" by Mangeshkar and Mehdi Hassan (written by Pakistan's Farhad Shahzad). The album
features Usha Mangeshkar, Suresh Wadkar, Hariharan, Sonu Nigam, Rekha Bhardwaj and another Pakistani singer,
Ghulam Ali, with compositions by Mayuresh Pai and others. [46][47]

After 14 years, Mangeshkar recorded a song for composer Nadeem-Shravan; "Kese Piya Sai Mein Kaho" for Bewafaa
(2005).[48] After "Kitne Ajeeb Rishte Hain Yahan Par" for Page 3 (2005) and "Daata Sun Le" for Jail (2009), Shamir
Tandon once again recorded a song with Mangeshkar; "Tere Hasne Sai Mujheko" for the film Satrangee Parachute
(2011).[49] After a hiatus, Mangeshkar came back to playback singing and recorded at her own studio the song "Jeena
kya hai, jaana maine" for the sequel of Kapil Sharma's queer love story Dunno Y... Na Jaane Kyun.[50]

On 28 November 2012, Mangeshkar launched her own music label, LM Music, with an album of bhajans, Swami

Awards and recognitions [edit]

Main article: List of awards received by Lata Mangeshkar

Lata Mangeshkar has won several awards and honours, including Bharat Ratna (India's Highest Civilian Award),

(1997),[59] NTR National Award (1999), Bharat Ratna (2001), Legion of Honour (2007), ANR National Award (2009),

Award, in order to promote fresh talent. She was later awarded Filmfare Lifetime Achievement Award in 1993 and
Filmfare Special Awards in 1994 and 2004.
In 1984, the State Government of Madhya Pradesh instituted the Lata Mangeshkar Award in honour of Lata
Mangeshkar. The State Government of Maharashtra also instituted a Lata
Mangeshkar Award in 1992.

In 2009, Mangeshkar was awarded the title of Officer of the French Legion of
Honour, France's highest order. [60]

In 2012, Mangeshkar was ranked number 10 in Outlook India's poll of the

Greatest Indian.[61]

Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan said kambakht, kabhi besuri na hoti ("[she] is never
off-key").[62] Dilip Kumar once said, "Lata Mangeshkar ki awaaz kudrat ki takhleek
ka ek karishma hain," meaning "Lata Mangeshkar's voice is a miracle from
God."[63] Mangeshkar at the Dinanath
Mangeshkar Awards announcement
Lata Mangeshkar is also a recipient of honorary doctorates from the Sangeet in 2013
Natak Akademi in 1989, Indira Kala Sangeet Vishwavidyalaya, Khairagarh, and
Shivaji University in Kolhapur.[64]

Guinness controversy [edit]

In 1974, The Guinness Book of Records listed Lata Mangeshkar as the most recorded artist in the history, stating that
she had reportedly recorded "not less than 25,000 solo, duet and chorus backed songs in 20 Indian languages"
between 1948 and 1974. Her record was contested by Mohammad Rafi, who was claimed to have sung around 28,000
songs.[65][66] After Rafi's death, in its 1984 edition, the Guinness Book of World Records stated Lata Mangeshkar's
name for the "Most Recordings", but also stated Rafi's claim. The later editions of Guinness Book stated that Lata
Mangeshkar had sung no fewer than 30,000 songs between 1948 and 1987.[67]

The entry was discontinued by Guinness editions in 1991 without explanation, while several sources continued to claim
that she recorded thousands of songs, with estimates ranging up to figures as large as 50,000.[68][69] However, even
the earliest Guinness claim of 25,000 songs (between 1948–1974) was disputed and claimed to have been
exaggerated by several others, stating that the number of songs sung by Lata Mangeshkar in Hindi films till 1991 was
found to be 5025.[70][71][72][73] Mangeshkar herself has stated that she does not keep a record of the number of songs
recorded by her, and that she did not know from where Guinness Book editors got their information.[74] In 2011, the
entry was revived by Guinness crediting the record to her sister Asha Bhosle as the most recorded artist in music
history, "for recording up to 11,000 solo, duet and chorus-backed songs and in over 20 Indian languages since
1947".[75] Since 2016, current record in this category belongs to Pulapaka Susheela, for recording at least 17,695
songs in 6 languages, not counting some lost early recordings.[76]
