Lata was once asked to rate her own top ten songs.
I remember Aaayega Aane wala and raina Beeti jaye were there. Does anyone know the list by any chance? It was in a Filmfare or stardust interview...

Thanks! She's an incarnation of Saraswati Maa herself.

Saraswati manages the education and music port folio? This is sheer power grabbing😊

I guess Lataji is not Saraswati's avatar but the goddess does indeed reside in her throat while she is singing. She will be remembered by many generations to come. I am proud of my country for producing such gems. JAI HIND!!! 👏 👏 👏
