Melody queen Lata Mangeshkar won’t celebrate her 87th birthday today (Wednesday) as 18 Indian soldiers recently died “so brutally in Uri”. She is saddened by the darkness all around, including the deteriorating relations with Pakistan. But she hopes they stay happy and live in peace.
The September 18 terror attack left 18 Indian soldiers dead at Uri in Jammu andKashmir. So, this year Lata won’t celebrate her birthday. “Not when our soldiers have died so brutally in Uri. My sincere request to my well-wishers, please don’t waste money buying me flowers. Instead send money to the bereaved family of martyrs. Jo shaheed huey hain unki zaraa yaad karo qurbani,” she said.
There is hatred everywhere, especially between India and the neighbours. What is her message to her fans? Lata said: “Everything has changed. Human beings and even the climate is now unpredictable. Extreme weather conditions play havoc with our lives. I am deeply saddened to see children suffer in natural calamities and during war.”
So what according to her, is the solution to the current crisis in mankind’s existence?
