“When Sunil Gavaskar was introduced to Noor Jehan on India’s 1982 tour of Pakistan, she said: ‘I don’t know him. I only know Imran Khan and Zaheer Abbas.’ When she was introduced to him, he retorted: ‘I don’t know her. I only know #LataMangeshkar’.”: commentator Sushil Doshi. 
In 1988, #LataMangeshkar sang with #SPB for the Tamil film ‘Satya’. The composer @ilaiyaraaja has often explained how the lyrics were tailor-made for her. #ValaiOsai

Greatness in every language: how newspapers salute and celebrate the life of #LataMangeshkar. Several front pages are in all black, and at least one of daily lowers its masthead.
In 1983, after India won the World Cup for the first time, #LataMangeshkar held a concert in #Delhi to raise Rs 20 lakh—yes, Rs 20 lakh—for the victorious team. The man who made that show possible was her longtime beau, Raj Singh Dungarpur, later @BCCI president. @timesofindia
Anuradha Paudwal paid her respects to #LataMangeshkar and said the world without her was unthinkable. Back in 1992, in a cover story in ‘Savvy’ magazine, Paudwal, who was dubbed “the next Lata”, revealed how the “nightingale” sabotaged her career—and sullied her reputation.
