Shreya shared a touching memory of her first meeting with Lata Mangeshkar. “Dear Lata Didi, Like every other singer, I too consider you my idol. Once I was recording somewhere and in that studio Lata Didi also came to record. As soon as I came to know about this, I got so scared that I couldn’t concentrate at all. The recorder just said, let’s record tomorrow, let’s go meet Didi today. I ran to Lata Didi and wanted to say a lot, but before that she said, Shreya, I have heard your song, you sing it very well. Therefore, my first meeting with her was not an encounter. It was Lata Didi’s darshan for me. ”Shreya Ghoshal’s touching eulogy brought deep emotions to all who attended the event and paid tribute to Lata Mangeshkar’s eternal musical legacy.
