Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is currently on a five-day-long visit to the United States, has wished legendary playback singer Lata Mangeshkar on her 85th birthday.
In his tweet, Prime Minister Modi said, "On Lata Didi's birthday, I convey my warm greetings and pray for her long life and good health. @mangeshkarlata."
The Nightingale of India as she is famously called has received numerous awards and accolades such as the Bharat Ratna, Padma Bhushan, Padma Vibhushan, Dada Saheb Phalke Award and the Maharashtra Bhushan Award, and many others, during her nearly seven-decade-long singing career.
