1.Lata Mangeshkar's Ae Mere Watan Ke Logon
We all have grown up listening to the song 'Ae Mere Watan Ke Logon'. Even today, if we hear the opening lines of this song, our eyes get wet. For those who don't know, let us tell them that this song is 63 years old. When this song was sung on stage for the first time by the eminent singer Lata Mangeshkar, the then Prime Minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru also got teary-eyed. So, let us know what the story is behind writing this song?
2.Where did Lata Mangeshkar sing the song for the first time?
The song 'Ae Mere Watan Ke Logon' was first sung by Lata Mangeshkar in her melodious voice at a Republic Day event held at the National Stadium in Delhi. According to media reports, when this song ended, there was silence all around, and everyone present had teary eyes.
3.When Lata didi move Jawaharlal Nehru to tears
When Lata Mangeshkar sang this song in Delhi, it was only two months since the war between India and China had ended. Prime Minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, as well as the then-President S Radhakrishnan, were also present in the stadium. It is said that when Lata walked to the stage, her throat choked while singing the song, and her voice echoed all around the stadium. After which, everyone felt emotional.
4.What Kavi Pradeep inspire to write this song
We all know that this song was sung by Lata Mangeshkar, but very few people know who wrote the lyrics of the song. Let us tell you, this song was written by Kavi Pradeep. There is an interesting story behind it, too. Actually, at that time, the Indo-China war was going on, and news of Indian soldiers killed was coming continuously.
After hearing this news, along with the whole country, Kavi Pradeep was also very sad. In the year 1962, when the country was going through war, during that time he was walking on the seashore in Mahim, Mumbai and in his mind he was thinking about the Indian soldiers. After which, he got a few words in mind. To pen them down, he asked someone for a pen and wrote the first lines of the song on a cigarette box.
