Mumbai: Veteran Hindi writer Padma Sachdev, who was very close to melody queen Lata Mangeshkar, has recently written a book in which she has disclosed for the first time that Lata was given slow poison in 1962.
In her book "Aisa kahan se laaoon", Padma Sachdev, who used to be a regular at Lata's recordings, writes: "Lataji revealed this to me. She told me, she was 33 years old in 1962. One early morning, she had a severe pain in her stomach, and she vomitted greenish clear liquid twice or thrice. She said, she was not in a position to move her limbs, and her entire body was in pain.
