Also known as the ‘Nightingale of India’ the singer was a great performer and owned the stage whenever she performed, but few know that her journey to success was not always easy.

She was an artiste who had made her way after a number of sacrifices and fears that she had overcome through her journey.

While sharing a story about Lata’s stage fright, singer Sonu Nigam said, “There was one stage performance that was in Detroit where Lataji was supposed to sing with Mukeshji but Lataji had no idea that her fear of stage will come back and the stage that took away her father once will also take away her elder brother as well.
