I wept almost 300 times: Lata Mangeshkar on Mumbai terror

Speaking to a news agency, Lata Mangeshkar, who has indisputably been the most respected singer in Hindi film industry, said she was deeply distressed by the attack on the city that's so dear to her.

"I can't express my emotion in words. I never felt so disturbed in my life. I have been watching TV constantly for the last three days wept and 300 times," the singer is quoted by the news agency.


Lata said even though she had a premonition that Mumbai could be targeted by terrorists she never anticipated an attack on such a large scale.

"I had a premonition that after Gujarat and Delhi, Mumbai could be the next target. Even I discussed it with my family members. I never imagined something like this can happen," Lata is quoted as saying.

Even as the whole nation salutes the martyred ATC chief Hemant Karkare for having sacrificed his life in the line of fire, Lata says she knew him personally.

"I knew him personally and today when he is not alive, I am feeling his presence all around," Lata said.

"When I heard the song 'Ae Mere Watan Ke Logon' television channels were playing during the last rites of the martyrs, I felt the same pain, I experienced when I sang it," added the distressed singer.
