Lata Mangeshkar was born in 1929 in Indore. She was the eldest daughter of Pandit Deenanath Mangeshkar, a Marathi musician and a theater actor. A lesser-known fact about the singing legend is that Mangeshkar’s family’s last name used to be Hardikar but her father changed it to Mangeshkar in order to identify with his family’s native town, Mangeshi, in Goa.
She received her first musical lesson from her father who happened to be a classical singer. From a very young age, Lata Ji had a strong sense of right and wrong. The singing legend, as a child, had a habit of bringing her sister, Asha to school with her.
One day, the school authorities did not allow Asha to enter. That was when Lata Ji decided to walk out of school on the very first day. Such was her resolve.

The singing legend came from a humble background and had to face a lot of struggle in her initial years.. Losing her father at the age of 13 left a deep scar on Lata’s mind, and being the eldest among her siblings, she had to bear financial responsibility early on in life.
Her mentor, Vinayak, lost his life in 1948, which came as a big blow to Lata. She was then mentored by music director Ghulam Haider but struggled to find acceptance in the industry, and was often criticized by producers for her Maharashtrian accent. As Urdu had a huge influence on the music industry, Lata was forced to take Urdu lessons as well.
Lata’s first breakthrough film hit came with the song "Dil Mera Toda, Mujhe Kahin Ka Na Chhora" in the movie Majboor (1948) and the rest, as they say, is history.
