Lata Mangeshkar reacts to Ranu Mondal:
89-year-old Lata Mangeshkar has some good advice for Ranu. While talking to a news agency, the Bharat Ratna awardee said, she is happy if someone is getting work by singing her songs, but she also offered some key advice. "I feel imitation is not a reliable and durable companion for success. By singing my songs or Kishoreda's (Kishore Kumar), or (Mohd) Rafi Saab's, or Mukesh Bhaiyya or Asha's (Bhosle) numbers, aspiring singers can get short-term attention. But it won't last."
