The viral video is said to be a clip from her candid conversation with Javed Akhtar. During the interaction she said in Hindi, "Naa hi janam miley toh acha hain aur agar wakayi janam mila mujhe toh main Lata Mangeshkar banna nahi chahungi (I don't want to be reborn. But if I do, I don't want to be reborn as Lata Mangeshkar)."

When Akhtar questioned her why, she added with a smile, "Lata Mangeshkar ki jo taqleefein hain wo usko hi pata hain (Lata Mangeshkar's problems are known only to her)." Take a look at the post,

It is unclear when the interaction took place and if she further opened up about her struggles. However, recently, actor Shatrughan Sinha did reveal that Lata Mangeshkar 'sacrificed her marriage for her family' and added that Lata ji was 'admired for what she did for them'.

Lata Mangeshkar was cremated at Mumbai's Shivaji Park with full state honours on Sunday evening. Prime Minister Narendra Modi was among those who paid their last respects to the singer.
