3:00Now Playing'Swar Kokila' Lata Mangeshkar breathed her last on February 6, but she will always rule our hearts with her soulful music and euphonious voice. Zillions of music lovers across the world have been mourning the demise of the singing legend along with many Bollywood celebs. During her recent interaction with ETimes, veteran actress Waheeda Rehman recently spoke about the time she got to spend with the late singer during stage shows. Recalling one such incident, Waheeda revealed that she wanted to organise a show for Bangladesh with Lataji. Waheeda says Lataji refused for it initially, but the actress was determined and decided to take advantage of Lataji's love for chocolates. The veteran actress pursued Lataji for the song and sent her loads of chocolates for 10 days and eventually she agreed to be the part of the show. Waheeda revealed an unknown side of Lata Mangeshkar and called her a fun loving and very sincere woman. Talking about the Dhaka event, Waheeda recalled that they were living in Army accomodations and the rooms allotted to Nargis and her didn't have steady water supply, but Lataji and Mala Sinha's rooms had 24-hour running water. She said, ' I hadn’t had a bath for 2 days and I couldn’t control anymore. I walked upto Nargis ji and told her that I am going to go and ask Lata ji and Mala ji and take a bath in one of their rooms. Nargis ji asked me, ‘Do you really want to do that? What if they say no?’ I reacted and replied, ‘What’s there to say no for? I am lady, just like them, why would there be a reason to refuse?’ So I went up to Lata ji’s room and politely asked her if I could take a bath in her bathroom. Lata ji promptly asked me to use her bathroom. I rushed with my clothes and started taking a bath. But, mid-bath the water stopped. I was all soaped up and in peril. I called out to Lata ji for help. In the sweetest gesture, she actually filled and hauled buckets of water to the room.' Lata Mangeshkar passed away after battling COVID-19, and other age-related issues. She was 92 years of age. She was honoured with Dadasaheb Phalke Award and France's highest civilian award, Officer of the Legion of Honour, besides numerous national and international awards. In 1974, the Guinness Book of Records ranked her as the most recorded artiste in history. She had reportedly sung over 25,000 songs between 1948 and 1974. She became a recipient of India's highest civilian honour Bharat Ratna in 2001.
