It may be recalled that a couple of months back, Lata’s comments on street singer Ranu Mondal had become controversial. Ranu’s video singing Lata’s iconic song Ek Pyar Ka Nagma Hai went viral last year. Speaking to IANS in an interview, Lata had said: “Agar mere naam aur kaam se kissiko bhala hota hai toh main apne-aap ko khush-kismat samajhti hoon (If anyone gets benefited from my name and work then I feel fortunate). But I also feel imitation is not a reliable and durable companion for success. By singing my songs or Kishoreda’s (Kumar), or (Mohd) Rafi Saab’s, or Mukesh Bhaiyya or Asha’s (Bhosle) numbers, aspiring singers can get short-term attention but it won’t last.” Her quote came in for heavy criticism as many on Twitter said she could have been a little more gracious.
