tai.

Savaniee Ravindrra

, shared, "We have always worshipped her as

Goddess Saraswati

. She is no longer with us physically, but she will always be there in spirit. Whenever I met her, I would be speechless. Such was her aura. As a child, I have been fortunate enough to perform in front of her. I remember she had even called me 'guni baal' and hugged me during one of the meetings."

The prolific music composer duo

Ajay-Atul

too said, "There are a few iconic personalities that you wish would never depart. Lata Mangeshkar was one of them. I remember, Aga Bai Arechya's

Durge Durgat Bhari

was initially composed for

Latatai

, but because of some reasons, she couldn't record. It would have been an iconic moment for us if she would have been able to record it."


Mahesh Kale called it a personal loss and added, "A few years ago, I met Latatai during an event to pay tribute to

Dinanath Mangeshkar

. We spoke in the green room, and she appreciated my songs. I was so overwhelmed with her mere presence. I feel like I have lost somebody in my own family."
