"The slow poison incident rendered Lataji very weak. She was bed-ridden for nearly 3 months. She was asked to take cold soup with ice cubes, because of pain in her intestines."
Lata Mangeshkar had revealed this incident in another interview to London-based film writer Nasreen Munni Kabir, who also verified the same with Lata's younger sister Usha Mangeshkar.
Sachdev writes: "After the incident, Bollywood lyricist Majrooh Sultanpuri used to regularly visit Lataji at her home daily at 6 pm. Majrooh used to first taste the food and then allow Lata to eat. He used to recite poems and stories to keep Lata in good humour."
