Lata Mangeshkar strangled the career of all her competitors. Many are mislead by Lata that the dispute between her and Rafi was over royalty. However insiders know that before public fall out over songs’ royalty, Lata was upset that Rafi was singing with singers other than Lata and Asha. Rafi declined to choke the careers of other singers. Rafi was a perfect gentleman. He didn’t interfere with the jobs of music director, lyricist and producer. The tension of Rafi’s refusal to facilitate Lata’s monopoly resulted in an eruption of her anger disguised as a policy differences over the royalty. We don’t know what Lata said to Rafi that made the otherwise cool Rafi so mad that he said that he wouldn’t sing with Lata going forward. Rafi and Asha both had the same stand on royalty yet Asha being Lata’s sister patched up with her but the duo ganged up against Rafi for rest of their lives. They kept denigrating Rafi’s singing. Asha ran away with Bhosle because Lata wouldn’t let her sing. Asha was determined to make her own career and she took a different path to accomplish her goal. She used men to further her career. She stole Asha’s manager Bhosle who had good industry connections and had marketed Lata well. He successfully launched Asha. After making her name she dumped Bhosle and patched up with Lata. She hooked up with OP Nayyar. Once Nayyar’s career was over she seduced RD Burman. She broke up with RD and started living separately when he didn’t have work. However upon his death she came to claim his property and royalty. She put RD’s mother into an old age home and took the ownership of SD Burman’s house and his songs’ royalty. She also kicked out her daughter in law and her granddaughter upon her son’s death and took over the house they were living in. Actress Sadhna had rented a house from Asha and was living there. When Sadhana was very old and could not afford to pay rent increase, Asha set upon her goons who shut down her water. Sadhana was alone and sick. She had lost her husband, had no children and was half blind at age 74 and was about to die but Asha had no mercy. Lata set up her monopoly over playback singing and like a gangster finished off her competition. To name a few Geeta Dutt, Mubarak Begum, Suman Kalyanpur, Sharda, Sudha Malhotra, Kanchan, Vani Jayaram, Sulakshna Pandit, Usha Timothy, Usha Mangeshkar, Meena Mangeshkar, Preeti Sagar fell victim to her. It’s a shame that amongst hundreds of crores of people India could not have another singer. Music lovers didn’t have a choice and were denied many good singers who could have enthralled them. Lata was a bully. She boycotted SD Burman, Sajjad Hussain, Jai Kishan, Raj Kapoor, Khemchand Prakash, Mohammed Rafi when they worked with other singers.

I am a very big fan of Smita Patil. She was very pure at heart and voice was magical! She was the number one in acting! She was a TV announcer before coming to films! How she died during delivery of her child is a mystery! She was a brave lady who portrayed women centric characters! She will be missed forever!

I love u Nusrat ali khan 😭😭😭😭❤❤❤❤

A very intellectual and sensitive actress ❤❤🙏

Iska matlab ye hua ki aap cheating karti thi because you knew that rafi sahab was the best singer and you and your sister asha both were insecure

I born in 1988

Thank you very much for posting the video, there are very few videos, yesterday I saw Raj Babbar in a dance show, then he gave a watch to a singer and wrote something, and they got emotional remembering it, and then the legendary Smita. Watched Patil ji's video, she was very different from today's heroine, thank you very much sir for posting your video, I was able to see her today.
