The
'Nightingale
Of
India'
Lata
Mangeshkar
passed
away
yesterday
(February
6)
at
the
wee
hours
of
the
morning
at
the
age
of
92.
The
singer
died
reportedly
due
to
multiple
organ
failure
owing
to
COVID-19
and
pneumonia
complications.
The
doctors
who
were
treating
the
legendary
singer
at
the
Breach
Candy
Hospital
in
South
Mumbai,
were
updating
her
fans
about
her
health.
Now,
the
late
singer's
doctor
Pratit
Samdani
who
had
been
treating
her
for
a
long
time
revealed
that
she
had
a
smile
on
her
face
even
during
her
last
days.
Talking
about
the
same,
according
to
a
news
report
in
The
Hindustan
Times,
Dr
Pratit
Samdani
said
to
a
publication,
"Whenever
Lata
Ji's
health
deteriorated,
I
would
have
treated
her,
but
this
time
her
condition
was
deteriorating
day
by
day.
Though
we
continued
our
efforts
but
eventually
we
could
not
save
her."
The
doctor
further
added
that
Lata
Mangeshkar
always
stated
that
everyone
should
be
treated
equally
and
that
she
would
always
willingly
take
up
all
the
treatments
that
were
given
to
her
without
complaining.
Dr
Samdani
went
on
to
say,
"I
will
remember
her
smile
for
the
rest
of
my
life.
Even
in
her
final
moments,
she
had
a
smile
on
her
face.
For
the
past
few
years,
her
health
was
not
good
and
hence
she
was
not
able
to
meet
anyone
much.
Ever
since
I
have
been
treating
her,
Lata
Didi
used
to
talk
very
little
and
didn't
speak
much.
However,
God
had
different
plans
for
her
and
she
left
all
of
us
forever."
The
doctor
further
recalled
how
the
late
singer
had
developed
a
special
bond
with
his
daughter
over
the
years
and
the
duo
would
often
video
chat
during
the
consultation
sessions.
Samdani
said
that
the
'Yeh
Galiyan
Yeh
Chaubara'
singer
was
keen
to
meet
his
daughter
but
couldn't
owing
to
the
pandemic.
He
went
on
to
reveal
that
they
met
virtually
several
times
over
video
calls
and
his
daughter
would
send
the
singer
handwritten
letters.
Lata
Mangeshkar
was
laid
to
rest
with
full
state
honours.
Her
funeral
was
attended
by
Prime
Minister
Narendra
Modi,
Shah
Rukh
Khan,
Ranbir
Kapoor,
Aamir
Khan
and
others.
The
central
government
announced
two
days
of
mourning
as
respect
for
the
late
singer
on
February
6
and
7.
