The death of the Lag Jaa Gale singer has shocked the world’s entertainment community. In the midst of all of this, the Tu Jhoom singer gave an exclusive interview to Indian media and paid respect to the legend.
When asked about the musician, Parveen said that the veteran singer’s voice was a “gift from God,” and that the humility she demonstrated despite having such a gift was rare.
We can’t imagine how God chose Lata Ji’s soul; she was someone whose voice ignited with its own originality. She would thoroughly immerse herself in whatever tune she had sung. The anguish would be mirrored as though it were a divine gift. With this talent, she claimed the entire planet as her own.“
“She was so modest, she would think nothing of herself,” she continued. I recall her being questioned, “Do you enjoy your songs?” She had stated that if she had another life, she would sing the songs again and rectify them since she was so modest. She and other powerful individuals are never happy with their efforts. People may learn from her songs in the same way as they would from a school, “Parveen told the Indian press.
