It was the Mangeshkar Magic, as it were, that was at work, since Asha Bhosle and the younger sisters, Usha and Meena, too, had fairly long innings. Phir ek martaba Lata Mangeshkar se dhar-khwaast karti hun woh ek bar phir stage par aayen aur yeh gana sunayen: Saathi re, tujh bin jia udaas re, yeh kaisi unbhujh pyaas re, aajaa.” Uhn samjhiye, jaise kisi Dargah ya Mandir mein jaayen, to wahaan pahunch kar Sar, ibaadat ke liye, khud-ba-khud jhukh jata hai aur aankhon se besaaqta aansoon behate hain. Unki aawaaz sun ne ke baad kuch aisa alamtaari ho jata hai, jise bayaan karna mushkil hai. ![]() When Lata became the first Indian to stage a performance at the Royal Albert Hall in London in 1974, Nargis welcomed Lata on to the dais, with stirring words: “Moaziz Khawateen-o-Hazraat, Lata kisi tareef ke nahin balki parastish ke qaabil hain. Nargis paid the greatest and the biggest tribute to Lata Mangeshkar. That was the magic and mesmerizing spell of Lata Mangeshkar. ![]() When Lata Mangeshkar sang this song in the presence of Nehru on January 27, 1963, tears rolled in his eyes. Nehru had described the Sino-Indian War in 1962 as the Great Betrayal and he never recovered from its shock, till his end came on May 27, 1964.
