Celebrated vocalist Lata Mangeshkar’s final rites were held on Sunday evening in Mumbai’s Shivaji Park. She was laid to rest with full state honours. Apart from thousands of teary-eyed fans, several Indian dignitaries including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray, Shah Rukh Khan, Shraddha Kapoor, Asha Bhosle, Vidya Balan, Ranbir Kapoor, Aamir Khan, and Sachin Tendulkar among others also paid their last respect to the Nightingale of India.
While several photos from Lata Mangeshkar’s funeral have surged on the internet, one picture that won everyone’s heart is that of Shah Rukh Khan. The superstar, who was spotted in public after a long time, was snapped along with his manager Pooja Dadlani. SRK not only paid tribute to her with a garland but also said a dua (prayer) for her after touching her feet. The picture of the same has now gone viral on social media.
Shah Rukh Khan’s thoughtful gesture has left fans completely impressed and heavily emotional.
Lata Mangeshkar breathed for the last time in Mumbai’s Breach Candy Hospital on Sunday morning where she was admitted for the last 28 days. The singer’s doctor Dr. Pratit Samdani issued a statement and revealed that Lata didi passed away due to multiple organ failure.
