Rani Mukerji mourns Lata Mangeshkar’s demise, says, ‘This is truly the end of an era’

India’s nightingale Lata Mangeshkar left everyone in the void on Sunday. She was no ventilator support after she was tested positive for COVID-19 at the age of 92. However, due to the failure of multiple organs, Lata Ji breathed her last on February 6, leaving everyone in grief. After her demise, many celebs from the entertainment industry paid heartfelt tribute on social media. This time, actor Rani Mukerji who has worked with Lata Mangeshkar in Mujhse Dosti Karoge shared a heart-touching statement on Lata Ji, saying that it is the end of an era. Rani also mentioned that Lata Ji was an institution and every actor had dreamt of lip-syncing to her voice.

The Mardaani actor’s statement read, “Lataji is an institution and this is truly the end of an era. Though she is no more, her voice is immortal and will stay with us forever. Lataji was truly gifted and blessed, people would often say that goddess Saraswati resides in her voice and what a coincidence that she left us one day after Basant Panchami. She has left a big void in all our lives as India has lost its nightingale. She is and always will be remembered as one of the most integral people in the history of Indian cinema. Every actor past and present dreamt of lip-syncing to her voice and in my career, I had the good fortune of being able to do that in my film Mujhse Dosti Karoge.”
