Celina Jaitly Instagram – I am at a loss of words, her passing feels like a deep personal loss too. Today ironically is the wedding anniversary of my late parents Colonel and Dr Meeta jaitly. My father was a 20 year old Lieutenant in the army when he got critically wounded in 1971 war. He saw my mother in the army hospital and sent her the song “Kora Kagaz Tha Ye Mun Mera” from Aradhana sung by Lata Mangeshkar ji and Kishore Kumar as a love letter as he couldn’t write due to his injuries. Her songs became the first love letters of my parents coming together. No words or awards in this world qualify to truly honour the Lataji and her legacy. Her songs were the background score not only of our industry since 1942 but the background score of the life journey of millions of hearts through generations of agonies and ecstasies, love & tragedy, war and peace. After 92 years of pacifying us with her magical voice the nightingale left for her heavenly abode, leaving us with a treasure trove of magic to soothe our souls. It is indeed a great loss for our nation and our Indian film industry. #latamangeshkar #lata #restinpeace #legacy #indian #nightingaleofindia #nightingale #bollywood #tribute #india #icon #song #bharatratna #indianwomen #celinajaitly #celinajaitley #celina #songstress #lataji #omshanti Austria, Europe
