Lata Mangeshkar’s sad demise on Sunday left the entire country in a state of shock and grief. Social media platforms were flooded with condolence messages for the family while people remembered Lataji’s melodious songs from the past. She has won numerous prestigious awards in the past but did you know that she once rejected a Filmfare in 1958 and the organizers came up with a creative hack while presenting it to her?

For the unversed, Lataji passed away on February 6, 2022, at the age of 92, due to COVID 19-related complications.
