When Lata Mangeshkar REACTED To Ranu Mondal's Rise After Singing Her Song: Agar Mere Naam Aur...

Ranu Mondal birthday: Ranu Mondal, an overnight sensation, became a star after a video of her soulfully singing a Lata Mangeshkar song went viral online. The narrative of her sudden rise to fame is as compelling as the melodies she delivers with such grace and poise. The singing legend, Lata Mangeshkar, has always been an inspiration to her. Late Lata Mangeshkar, a recipient of the Bharat Ratna, continues to be one of India's most revered music icons and has been a role model for many, including Ranu Mondal.

The Story Behind Ranu Mondal's Viral Fame

It was in 2019 when Ranu Mondal's story began to unfold. Atindra Chakraborty, a young engineer, recorded her singing Lata Mangeshkar's 1972 song Ek Pyaar Ka Nagma Hai at Ranaghat Railway Station in West Bengal. The video was shared on Facebook and gained significant attention, making Ranu an Internet sensation overnight. She was later invited to a singing reality show where her talent was further recognised. Himesh Reshammiya, a judge on the show, was so impressed by her singing abilities that he invited her to lend her voice for his upcoming film.

The Controversy and Legacy

However, Ranu Mondal's popularity was short-lived as she faced criticism for her behaviour after she was seen snubbing a fan in a video that surfaced online. She was again criticised when her picture, heavily decked up in jewellery and makeup, went viral. On learning about Ranu Mondal, Lata Mangeshkar had expressed her happiness but with reservations, stating, "Agar mere naam aur kaam se kisiko bhala hota hai toh main apne aap ko khush kismat samajhti hoon" (If anyone benefits from my name and work, I consider myself fortunate.)

Remembering Lata Mangeshkar

Lata Mangeshkar passed away at the age of 92 on February 6, 2022 due to multiple organ failure. She was admitted to Mumbai's Breach Candy Hospital on January 8 after being diagnosed with COVID-19 and pneumonia. A two-day national mourning was observed in her memory, as informed by government sources.

The journey of Ranu Mondal is a testament to the power of social media and the value of raw talent. It also serves as a reminder of the legacy left behind by Lata Mangeshkar, whose music continues to inspire millions. As we remember Lata Mangeshkar and witness the journey of artists like Ranu Mondal, let's continue to celebrate the power of music that transcends barriers and brings people together.
