There are many aspiring singers who look up to Lata Mangeshkar, one of the most celebrated singers of the nation. There is no one who can match up to her talent indeed. However, there are a lot of people who aspire to sing as good as she does.
One of them is Ranu Mondal. The internet sensation who went viral after she sang Lata Mangeshkar¡¯s Ek Pyaar Ka Nagma Hai at a railway station shot to fame instantly. While everyone was touched by her heartwarming story, Lata Mangeshkar, on the other hand, had some reservations about her singing.
In an interview, the veteran singer while talking about her popularity suggested the aspiring singers to ¡°be original¡± and not imitate her or any singer. She added that singing her songs will only give ¡°short-term attention.¡±
And now her fans aren¡¯t happy with her comments. They expressed disappointment on Twitter. Slamming her, some of them said that she could have been more gracious.

¡°Agar mere naam aur kaam se kissiko bhala hota hai toh main apne-aap ko khush-kismat samajhti hoon. But I also feel imitation is not a reliable and durable companion for success. By singing my songs or Kishoreda's (Kumar), or (Mohd) Rafi Saab's, or Mukesh Bhaiyya or Asha's (Bhosle) numbers, aspiring singers can get short-term attention,¡± she had said.
