I’ve known Shraddha from the time she was a baby. I am glad she has not changed one bit after becoming a star. She is still a homely, warm, caring girl, says Lata

Every year without fail, the Mangeshkars receive a group of guests, the entire team of television show CID, which is Lata Mangeshkar’s favourite. She welcomes the entire cast and crew for prayers and the famous mirchi pakoda that’s served at their home. Says Lata, “I am an avid CID fan. And I look forward to having them so I can talk to them about what will happen on the show in the coming weeks.”

This year they had a surprise visit from Shraddha Kapoor’s family who are related to the Mangeshkars. Says Lata fondly,  “They all came. Shraddha, her mother Shivangi and brother Siddhant. Shraddha’s two aunts Padmini (Kolhapure) and Tejaswini. It was such a pleasure to meet them. I’ve known Shraddha from the time she was a baby. I am glad she has not changed one bit after becoming a star. She is still a homely, warm, caring girl. I’ve seen her films. She’s a natural. Mazey ki baat yeh hai ki woh gaati bhi hai aur sur mein (she sings and in tune).”

However, Ganesh Chaturthi at  the Mangeshkars was a subdued one otherwise. The songstress says, “The rain gods played havoc. And we lost a very bright doctor, Deepak Amrapurkar, in a freak accident. He was known to our family and this young doctor’s sudden death due to waterlogging stunned us. We were in no mood for festivities.”

The melody queen recalls how in the 2005 deluge  in Mumbai, her brother Hridaynath Mangeshkar was stuck. “The water had entered the car and the level was going up. He wouldn’t be alive today if my driver Mahesh had not gone on a motorcycle and rescued him.”
