Lata Mangeshkar is a fan of Nargis, Meena Kumari

While she is the ultimate idol of millions of Indians and artistes from every field, veteran Bollywood singer Lata Mangeshkar has revealed that she was the fan of late yesteryear actresses Nargis and Meena Kumari. Speaking about her favourite actresses at the launch of a calendar featuring veteran Bollywood heroines, the 83-year-old legend said, "It is tough to name one... I liked all. But Meena Kumari and Nargis were my favourites". However, the singer has only memories of her times with them. "Playback singer and actors met rarely so there are no memories as such, but I was still close to Meena Kumari and Nargis," she added.
