On Her 87th Birthday, Lata Mangeshkar Requests Fans To Send Money To Families Of Uri Martyrs
Jo Shahid Hue Hai Unki Yaad Karo Kurbani, Says Lata Mangeshkar On Why She Doesn't Want To Celebrate Her 87th Birthday!
Deeply saddened by the death of 18 Indian soldiers, who recently died ¡°so brutally in Uri¡±, Lata Mangeshkar doesn't want to celebrate her birthday this year. Hoping that that they stay happy and live in peace, she said,
¡°Not when our soldiers have died so brutally in Uri. My sincere request to my well-wishers, please don¡¯t waste money buying me flowers. Instead send money to the bereaved family of martyrs. Jo shaheed huey hain unki zaraa yaad karo qurbani."
While there is hatred brewing between the two nations, there is just one message that she wants to give to her fans,
¡°Everything has changed. Human beings and even the climate is now unpredictable. Extreme weather conditions play havoc with our lives. I am deeply saddened to see children suffer in natural calamities and during war.¡±
When she was asked to comment on the solution to the current crisis in mankind¡¯s existence, she said,
¡°I don¡¯t know if I am qualified to comment on such matters. But yes, I do wonder why nations don¡¯t keep their own house in order instead of creating havoc in others¡¯ domain. Why hurl bombs at nations? Hatred kills. Why not work on making our own country beautiful?¡±
According to her, Switzerland as an idyllic state of existence.
