In
her
recent
tete-a-tete
with
Bollywood
Hungama,
singer
Lata
Mangeshkar
opened
up
about
rumoured
rivalry
with
her
sister
Asha
Bhosle,
and
said
that
they
didn't
have
any
professional
rivalry,
but
just
like
other
siblings,
even
they
had
differences
in
the
past.
While
speaking
to
Subhash
K
Jha,
Lata
said
that
she
and
Asha
are
close,
and
even
though
they
do
not
meet
each
other
very
frequently,
because
Asha
lives
far
away
with
her
son
Anand,
they
share
a
tight
bond.
Speaking
about
having
differences
in
the
past,
Lata
said,
"Earlier
she
lived
right
next
to
me
and
we
even
shared
a
door
between
our
two
apartments
in
Prabhu
Kunj
(the
residential
complex
on
Peddar
Road,
Mumbai).
I
know
people
find
it
hard
to
believe.
But
that's
the
way
it
is.
Of
course,
we've
had
our
differences
in
the
past.
Which
siblings
don't
have
differences?
There
were
things
she
did
in
her
youth
that
I
couldn't
approve
of."
When
asked
if
she
was
upset
with
Asha's
decision
to
get
married
at
the
age
of
16,
Lata
nodded
in
agreement
and
said
that
she
knew
that
the
marriage
would
end
in
disaster.
"Yes.
I
knew
it
was
too
early.
I
could
feel
it
would
end
in
disaster.
And
it
did.
But
it
was
her
life
and
she
was
free
to
do
what
she
liked
with
it.
In
our
family,
we
never
question
one
another's
decisions," asserted
Lata.
In
the
same
interview,
Lata
dismissed
the
rumours
of
having
professional
rivalry
with
Asha
and
said
that
there
was
never
any
professional
clash
between
them.
She
went
on
to
add
that
Asha
evolved
a
completely
different
style
of
singing
from
her.
"There
is
absolutely
no
rivalry
between
us.
I've
always
wished
her
well.
And
she
has
always
looked
up
to
me
as
her
elder
sister,"
concluded
Lata.
