10 things you should know about Lata, who turned 83 today

Lata lent  her voice to several  thousands of Indian flicks, humming about 25,000 solo, duet, and chorus-backed songs in 20 Indian languages. Yet the lady always looked shy and down to earth in nature.




So devoted was Lata  towards her work that she never married any one.  Lata shared her golden voice with almost all generations of singers, right from Mohammad Rafi till Sonu Nigam. 

An inspiration for millions of singers, Lata has always kept a distance from reality shows.
