The voice of the nation said that if anyone got benefited from her work or name, she feels fortunate about it. She said that imitating another’s song is not a trust-worthy and long-lasting friend for success. The singer later added that by singing Kishore Kumar, or Mohammed Rafi, or Mukesh Bhaiyya, or Asha Bhosale’s iconic numbers, the singers aspiring for success will only earn temporary attention and mentioned that it will not last forever. Lata Ji further added that she feels great concern for the children who sing on music shows on television and questioned about how many other than Sunidhi Chauhan or Shreya Goshal have been remembered after their part of success.
The Nightingale of India gave a piece of advice to the young aspiring singers to be original and after a point seek his or her own song. Speaking on the glorious success of sister Asha Bhosale, the singer mentioned how if she would have not insisted in Asha Ji singing her own style, her sister would have remained her shadow forever. Lata Mangeshkar concluded by talking about how her sister Asha Bhosale is the biggest example of how far individuality can take one’s talent.
