Lata Mangeshkar was honoured with the first Hridaynath Mangeshkar
award for her outstanding contribution to Indian music at a glittering
function yesterday and was gifted a cheque of Rs. 1 lakh, a trophy and
a shawl by none other than Amitabh Bachchan. The said award has been
instituted by Hridayesh Art; a city- based socio-cultural
organization.
After receiving the award, the melody queen showered praise on her
brother Hridaynath Mangeshkar, in whose name the award is being given.
Speaking on the occasion, Lata didi said, "Hridaynath and my other
three sisters never sought any financial help from me." She also added
that "I consider you (Amitabh) as God as far as speaking in Hindi is
concerned. I am proud that I have got the award from Amitabh
Bachchan." In his traditional baritone voice, Big B said, "I pray to
god to give us a long life so that we can hear Lata for years to
come."
In the same event, Lata felicitated Yash Chopra, Sunidhi Chauhan,
Kavitha Krishnamurthy, Sonu Nigam, Suresh Wadkar, Sudesh Bhosale and
