Dr. Pratit Samdani from Breach Candy Hospital, who was treating the singer stated, currently in the ICU and has once again been put on ventilator support, due to her worsened condition, for which she will remain under observation. ” He also added, She is under aggressive therapy. We are continuously observing her. She continues to be in ICU, she is under serious observation. Her treatment is going on in Breach Candy hospital.” 

Nevertheless, failing all the attempts of the medical team, Lata Ji left for heavenly abode on Sunday Morning due to Multiple Organ Failures.  

India Lost Her Own “ Saraswati ”Just A Day After The “ Saraswati Puja. ”


50000+ songs, 20 Indian Languages, 7 decades – 1 singer. It was only Lata Mangeshkar who made this possible. The death of India’s Nightingale has left the whole nation voiceless. It was said that Mata Saraswati resides in Lata-Ji’s voice, and the most surprising fact is that we lost her on the “ Visarjaan Day Of Saraswati Puja. ” 

All the Social Media Channels are flooded with heartfelt condolences for the icon. 

The melody queen of Bollywood, Shreya Ghoshal tweeted, “Feeling numb. Devastated. Yesterday was Saraswati Puja & today Ma took her blessed one with her. Somehow it feels that even the birds, trees & wind are silent today. Swar Kokila Bharat Ratna #LataMangeshkar Ji your divine voice will echo till eternity. Rest in peace. Om Shanti.”

Furthermore, Prime Minister Narendra Modi wrote on Twitter, I am anguished beyond words. The kind and caring Lata Didi has left us. She leaves a void in our nation that cannot be filled. The coming generations will remember her as a stalwart of Indian culture, whose melodious voice had an unparalleled ability to mesmerize people.”  

Maestro actress and politician Hema Malini offered her condolences saying, “ Feb 6 is a dark day for us – the legend who has given us a treasure trove of lilting songs, the Nightingale of India, Lataji, has left us to continue her divine music in heaven. It is a personal loss for me as our affection & admiration for each other was mutual. ”

Our Closing Thoughts

We are dumbstruck by this invaluable loss. As a mark of utmost respect to the Swar Kokila Bharat Ratna, the government has announced 2-day national mourning. There will be no official entertainment for two days while the national flag will fly at half-mast.  

To conclude, it’s true that there won’t be another Lata Mangeshkar, but she will continue to live amongst us through her legendary songs.
