Lata Mangeshkar was born on 28 September 1929 in a Maharashtrian Brahmin family in Indore, (in the present-day Indore district of Madhya Pradesh and then the capital of the princely state of Indore which was part of the Central India Agency in British India). Her father, Deenanath Mangeshkar, was a Marathi and Konkani classical singer and theatre actor. Her mother, Shevanti (later renamed Shudhamati), was a Gujarati woman from Thalner, Bombay Presidency (now in northwest Maharashtra).
Deenanath’s mother belonged to the Devadasis, a matrilineal community of temple artists. Deenanath had taken the surname Mangeshkar, based on the name of his ancestral village, Mangeshi. Shevanti was Deenanath’s second wife; his first wife Narmada, who had died before his marriage to Shevanti, was Shevanti’s older sister.
Her maternal grandfather, Seth Haridas Ramdas Lad, was from Gujarat, a prosperous businessman and landlord of Thalner. She learned Gujarati folk songs such as garbas of Pavagadh from her maternal grandmother.
Lata was named “Hema” at her birth. Her parents later renamed her Lata after a female character, Latika, in one of her father’s plays,
She was the eldest child in the family. Meena, Asha, Usha and Hridaynath, in birth order, are her siblings; all are accomplished singers and musicians.
She received her first music lesson from her father. At the age of five, she started to work as an actress in her father’s musical plays (Sangeet Natak in Marathi). On her first day of school, Mangeshkar left because she was not allowed to bring her sister Asha along with her.
In 1942, when Mangeshkar was 13, her father died of heart disease. Master Vinayak (Vinayak Damodar Karnataki), the owner of Navyug Chitrapat movie company and a close friend of the Mangeshkar family, took care of them. He helped her get started in a career as a singer and actress.
She sang the song “Naachu Yaa Gade, Khelu Saari Mani Haus Bhaari”, which was composed by Sadashivrao Nevrekar for Vasant Joglekar’s Marathi movie Kiti Hasaal (1942), but the song was dropped from the final cut. Vinayak gave her a small role in Navyug Chitrapat’s Marathi movie Pahili Mangalaa-gaur (1942), in which she sang “Natali Chaitraachi Navalaai” which was composed by Dada Chandekar. Her first Hindi song was “Mata Ek Sapoot Ki Duniya Badal De Tu” for the Marathi film Gajaabhaau (1943).
The Bollywood industry was yet to find its feet, so Mangeshkar had to first concentrate on acting, which she didn’t like, as the lights and people ordering her around made her feel uncomfortable.
She moved to Mumbai in 1945 when Master Vinayak’s company moved its headquarters there. She started taking lessons in Hindustani classical music from Ustad Aman Ali Khan of Bhindibazaar Gharana. She sang “Paa Lagoon Kar Jori” for Vasant Joglekar’s Hindi-language movie Aap Ki Seva Mein (1946), which was composed by Datta Davjekar. The dance in the film was performed by Rohini Bhate, who later became a famous classical dancer. Lata and her sister Asha played minor roles in Vinayak’s first Hindi-language movie, Badi Maa (1945).
In that movie, Lata also sang a bhajan, “Maata Tere Charnon Mein.” She was introduced to music director Vasant Desai during the recording of Vinayak’s second Hindi-language movie, Subhadra (1946).
After Vinayak’s death in 1948, music director Ghulam Haider mentored her as a singer. He introduced her to producer Sashadhar Mukherjee, who was then working on the movie Shaheed (1948), but Mukherjee dismissed her voice as “too thin”. An annoyed Haider responded that in coming years producers and directors would “fall at Lata’s feet” and “beg her” to sing in their movies. Haider gave her her first major break with the song “Dil Mera Toda, Mujhe Kahin Ka Na Chhora”—lyrics by Nazim Panipati—in the movie Majboor (1948), which became her first big breakthrough film hit.
In an interview on her 84th birthday in 2013, she declared “Ghulam Haider is truly my Godfather. He was the first music director who showed complete faith in my talent.”
Initially, she is said to have imitated the acclaimed singer Noor Jehan, but she later developed her own style of singing. She brought a new signature style of singing to Indian film music, moving away from mehfil-style performances to suit both ‘modern’ and ‘traditional’ female protagonists. A soprano range voice with less volume or amplitude, she had enough weight in her voice to give definite shape to the melody of Indian film songs.
Although she had limited coloratura skills in her early career, she developed better tone and pitch as she progressed in her playback career. Lyrics of songs in Hindi movies were, in those days, primarily composed by Urdu poets and contained a higher proportion of Urdu words, including the dialogue. Actor Dilip Kumar once made a mildly disapproving remark about her accent while singing Hindi/Urdu songs; so for a period of time, she took lessons in Urdu from an Urdu teacher named Shafi.
In subsequent interviews she said that Noor Jehan heard her as a child and had told her to practice a lot. The two stayed in touch with each other for many years to come.
Man men teri yaad basi lyrics | Lata Mangeshkar | Bhedi Bungla | 1949
Man men teri yaad basi lyrics :
Man mein teri yaad basi
Aankho mein hai pyar basa
Man mein teri yaad basi
Aankho mein hai pyar basa
Aaj mein sapno mein hai
Prem ka sansar basa
Man mein teri yaad basi
Aasha ki bagiya mein
Naye naye phool khile
Naina sarma hi gaye
Do dil jo has ke mile
Basti mein armano ki
Preet ka gulzar basa
Aaj mein sapno mein hai
Perm ka sansar basa
Man mein teri yaad basi
Najuk sa mora jiya
Yad kare piya piya
Najuk sa mora jiya
Yad kare piya piya
Dars bhare naino ne mujhko
Jag mein haye badnam kiya
Dars bhare naino ne mujhko
Jag mein haye badnam kiya
Lakh nahi nahi kahun
Lakh nahi nahi kahun
Nahi mein ikrar basa
Aaj meinre sapno mein hai
Perm ka sansar basa
Man mein teri yaad basi.
