L ata Mangeshkar died on Sunday morning following a multiple organ

failure. The singer, who was 92, has left behind a career that no other playback
singer can ever attempt to replicate. Having started her singing career as a
teenager, Lata has sung over 30,000 in her career. The singer lent her voice to
some of the biggest leading actresses in Bollywood and also sang songs for
films from other languages.

Given that her biggest musical contribution was to Bollywood, it broke fans’
hearts when the singer signed fewer projects after 2000. While she continued
to give some of the biggest hits of the decade, including So Gaye Hain for
Zubeidaa, Humko Humise Chura Lo for Mohabbatein, O Paalanhaare for
Lagaan, the title track of Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, the album of Veer Zara
and Luka Chuppi for Rang De Basanti.

However, following these songs, she took a massive back step from
Bollywood. While she continued to record songs but her focus was no longer
on Bollywood films. While the singer hadn’t delved into the reason behind the
step, her sister Meena Mangeshkar had revealed in 2019 that she did not like
the kind of music that Bollywood was creating in the late 2010s.

"No one knows (why she stopped singing for Bollywood movies), but about 10
days back, she recorded a song for a Marathi movie. She doesn't sing much
now, especially for films. She takes up a song only if the lyrics and music are
good. Music is her life. But she doesn't enjoy today's film songs much due to
the lyrics and heavy-duty beats," she told the publication on Sep 28, 2019.

Following her demise, several celebrities, politicians, and sports stars

expressed their grief and condolences on social media platforms. Bollywood
actors including Akshay Kumar, Anil Kapoor, Anushka Sharma, Kangana
Ranaut, Mrunal Thakur, Arjun Rampal, Shahid Kapoor, and Ranveer Singh
among others also called Lata's death an 'end of an era'.
