In a 2012 interview, Bappi Lahiri had revealed how Lata Mangeshkar visited him when he was just four years old and supported him later on in his career a well.
"I was 4 when in the Eden Garden locality of Kolkata where we lived, Lataji came home and blessed me. I still have a picture of me sitting in her lap. She sang many Bangla songs for my father (Aparesh Lahiri) who was a well-known composer in Kolkata. From then on she has supported me. She sang my first composition in a Bengali film Daadu. If she hadn¡¯t sung for me, I¡¯d have been swept away by the competition," he told Etimes.
"My first big Bollywood hit score was Aamir Khan¡¯s father Tahir Hussain¡¯s Zakhmee. In that Lataji sang Abhi abhi thi dushmani and Aao tujhe chand pe le jaaon. Both big hits. That film also had the Asha-Kishore duet Jalta hai jiya mera bhigi-bhigi raaton mein which was a rage. Then there were melodies in the films Chalte Chalte and Aap Ki Khatir (which had the chartbuster Bambai se aaya mera dost) which are hummed to this day. That¡¯s how it all began for me."
Lata Mangeshkar had passed away on Feb 6. Bappi Lahiri left us all for his heavenly abode on Feb 16.
