Thane
(Maharashtra): At an event organised to remember her
father Dinanath Mangeshkar, singing diva Lata Mangeshkar was
felicitated for her contribution to the world of music here late
Sunday.
Organised on the occasion of Dinanath Mangeshkar's 69th death
anniversary by Shiv Sena's Thane city legislator Pratap Sarnaik,
the programme was also attended by party executive president
Uddhav Thackeray.
Thackeray presented Lata an idol of master blaster Sachin
Tendulkar as it happened to be his birthday Sunday.
An emotional Lata thanked Thackeray for the honour and said that
it was after 25 years that she was visiting Thane, some 40 km from
Mumbai.
"I am coming here after 25 years and I thank everyone who took the
trouble to invite me here," she said.
Also present on the occasion were Meenatai Mangeshkar, Asha
Bhonsale and Usha Mangeshkar, Lata's sisters.
Bollywood actor Dharmendra and vocalist Ustad Gulam Mustafa Khan
were conferred with the Master Dinanath Mangeshkar award for their
contribution to the entertainment industry at the function.
"I remember, I was only 13 when my father passed away. Initially I
used to pay him tribute on his death anniversary alone by singing
songs that he taught me," said an emotional Lata.
"It was in 1989 that we constituted the Dinanath Mangeshkar Smruti
Pratishthan following which we constituted the special award," she
added.
