Shraddha Kapoor shares childhood snap with her ‘aaji’ Lata Mangeshkar; Aishwarya Rai Bachchan pays tribute

Legendary singer Lata Mangeshkar was admitted to Mumbai’s Breach Candy hospital in January this year after she tested positive for COVID-19 . She was steadily recovering but on 5th February her health deteriorated and she was put on ventilator support. One day later Lata didi passed away due to multi-organ failure. The entire nation was heartbroken while her family members were left devastated. Earlier today, her granddaughter and actress Shraddha Kapoor took to her official social media handle to share an adorable childhood picture with her Lata Aaji, remembering her fondly.

Along with this post, Shraddha penned a heartwarming message which read: “I will forever cherish the honour of having shared precious moments with you. Your hand on my head, your warm gaze, your loving words of encouragement. Thank you for your simplicity, divinity, excellence and grace. Truly The Greatest of all time! I ❤ You Lata Aaji.” Aishwarya Rai Bachchan also took to Instagram to pay tribute to the late singer. She shared, “At a loss for words… Prayers for your Divine Soul to Rest in Peace, Lataji… God Bless. In absolute gratitude for you… and all your Blessings… Eternally…”

Dharmendra remembers his long chats with late Lata Mangeshkar; reveals why he couldn’t make it to her funeral 

For the uninitiated, Shraddha's late maternal grandfather singer Pandit Pandharinath Kolhapure was Lata Mangeshkar's cousin. When Lata didi’s health deteriorated a day before her demise, Shraddha rushed to the hospital to meet her along with her mother Shivangi Kapoor. We wish the family strength to cope with this heartbreaking loss, which has left a void in the entire film industry as well as nation.
