The nightingale Lata Mangeshkar has turned 87 today. She is the melody queen. Lata ji this year won't celebrate her birthday as she is very sad by the Uri attack. Also she feels bad for dead soldiers.

Lata ji said, “Not when our soldiers have died so brutally in Uri. My sincere request to my well-wishers, please don’t waste money buying me flowers. Instead send money to the bereaved family of martyrs. Jo shaheed huey hain unki zaraa yaad karo qurbani."

She gave message on this note by saying, “Everything has changed. Human beings and even the climate is now unpredictable. Extreme weather conditions play havoc with our lives. I am deeply saddened to see children suffer in natural calamities and during war.”

On asking about the solution in matter, "I don’t know if I am qualified to comment on such matters. But yes, I do wonder why nations don’t keep their own house in order instead of creating havoc in others’ domain. Why hurl bombs at nations? Hatred kills. Why not work on making our own country beautiful?” she said.

We really appreciate her decision and again wish her a very Happy Birthday!!! Live long!!
