Warbling her way into our hearts with the haunting and ethereal strains of "Aayega Aanewala" in "Mahal" (1949), Lata Mangeshkar became the definitive voice of several generations of Indian film heroines -- from Madhubala to Madhuri Dixit, Kamini Kaushal to Kajol, Padmini to Preity Zinta, Sharmila Tagore to Sridevi, and countless others -- in a wide range of melodic songs that will reverberate for all ages.
Many celebrities were spotted during her funeral to pay her last tribute. From PM Modi to Amir Khan, Ranbir Kapoor to Shraddha Kapoor, various big personalities were pictured at Lata Mangeshkar’s funeral, but, what caught our attention was Shahrukh Khan. He came along with his manager Pooja Dadlani at Shivaji Park Mumbai and offered a dua for Lata Ji. A photograph of Mr. Khan with his hands raised in dua and of Ms. Dadlani with her hands joined in a 'pranam' went viral on social media. This picture depicts the beauty of India’s diversity.
Twitteratis got emotional as this gesture by SRK won the hearts of fans on social media.
