Lata Mangeshkar's songs are popular not only in India and Pakistan but in other countries too. Recently, Canadian rapper Drake and Lil Wayne were seen performing on late Indian singer Lata Mangeshkar's iconic number 'Didi Tera Devar Deewana' from the popular 1994 Bollywood film 'Hum Aapke Hain Koun...' at a concert went viral. However, it is not clear if the video was authentic.
'Didi Tera Devar Deewana' was sung by Lata Mangeshkar and S.P. Balasubrahmanyam and has been written by Dev Kohli.
Talking about Lata Mangeshkar, after a prolonged illness and hospitalisation, 'The Nightingale of India' passed away at the age of 92 earlier this year. Music gives hope to the soul. From the 1940s to the 2000s, veteran singer late Lata Mangeshkar's work touched many souls, and her contributions to the Indian music industry earned her honorific titles such as Nightingale of India, Queen of Melody, and The Voice of India.
Besides setting a Guinness World Record, numerous awards and honours have been bestowed upon her for her outstanding work and contribution to the Indian music industry. In 1987, she received the Dadasaheb Phalke Award from the Government of India.
