Asha Bhosle remembers Lata Mangeshkar, shares cute childhood photo

Renowned Indian singer Asha Bhosle has put up a heartbreakingly cute childhood photograph on Instagram, where she can be seen with her sister, Lata Mangeshkar, who passed away yesterday.

In the photo, the two sisters can be seen as toddlers, with Mangeshkar sporting a flower clip, earrings and looking at the camera, and Bhosle sitting perched on a stool, wearing a dress with collars. In the caption of the photo, Bhosle recalled their childhood days together. This is the first time that anyone from the family has talked about Mangeshkar, after her demise.

The legendary singer passed away in Mumbai at the age of 92 due to multi-organ failure. Known as the Nightingale of India, she had lent her voice to thousands of songs in 36 languages in a career spanning almost eight decades. Leading personalities from all walks of life paid rich tributes to her.

She was conferred with three National Awards, and was awarded the Dadasaheb Phalke Award in 1989. In 2001, she was awarded the Bharat Ratna for her contribution to the arts, thereby becoming the second vocalist to receive this honour apart from late Carnatic music giant M S Subbulakshmi. She was also honoured with the Padma Vibhushan and Padma Bhushan.
