I THINK MEDIA IS MAKING A HOPELESS PUBLICITY OF THOSE NUTORIOUS SISTERS.

I DON’T CARE WHEREEVER SHE GOES , ONE THING WILL REMAIN FACT AND LATA AND ASHA’S HEART ALSO KNOWS THAT RAFI SAHAB WAS A TRUE HUMAN WITH WHOM THEY MESSED AND ALSO MESSED WITH MDS CAREER.

I THINK WE HUMANS ONLY HAVE RIGHT TO FORGIVE AND FORGET ONLY ALMIGHTY GOD HAS THE POWER TO PUNISH , BUT THESE SISTERS CROSSED THE RULE AND THEY HAVE , WILL PAY FOR THIS.

MUMBAI: Is the controversial flyover at Peddar Road finally forcing the legendary sister duo of Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhosle to move out of their Prabhu Kunj residence? It would seem so after their recent investments in residential properties which are a mere 15-minute drive from their Peddar Road home of more than four decades.

TOI has learnt that about three months ago, the veteran singers purchased two sprawling apartments in the heart of the mill land area of Parel. Real estate sources have confirmed that the sisters have booked flats in Casa Grande, the upcoming residential towers in the Matulya Mill compound on Tulsi Pipe Road. Two towers, each about 23 floors high, are being constructed by the developer, Ashford Housing.

When contacted, Latadidi, as she is popularly known, declined to comment. “I don’t wish to say anything on this,” said the diva of song as she emerged from the Ganesha aarti on Monday evening.

Asha Bhosle, 73, has booked a duplex - about 4,000 sq ft in size - on the third and fourth floors of the tower while her elder sister, 78, has settled for a 2,000 sq ft apartment in the second tower. If real estate sources are to be believed, the sisters must have spent roughly Rs 8 crore to Rs 9 crore collectively for the two flats. The rates in the two towers are about Rs 15,000 to Rs 17,000 per sq ft.

Ever since the Peddar Road flyover project was announced by the state government more than five years ago, the sisters have threatened to pack up and leave. At one stage, the media had even quoted Asha Bhosle as saying that she would shift to Dubai if the flyover came up.

Lata Mangeshkar had once jokingly said she would be able to shake hands with motorists on the flyover from her balcony. For several years now, both the sisters have been complaining about the increasing noise and air pollution on Peddar Road, which is one of the most congested arterial stretches in south Mumbai.

The singing duo owns two flats on the first floor of Prabhu Kunj building where they have been staying with their families since the early 1960s. Latadidi lives in one of the flats with her brother Hridayanath and his family, and their sister Usha Mangeshkar.

Asha Bhosle resides with her son Anand and his family in another apartment. Bhosle’s daughter also lives with her.
Those close to them say that the family has been growing, hence its need to find a larger residential space.

Generations of composers, heroines and film makers have looked upto Lata as their source of inspiration. Raj Kapoor regarded Lataji as a re-incarnation of Goddess Saraswati. He made an entire film ‘Satyam Shivam Sundaram’ on her incredible vocal skills. Films have sold on the strength of her vocals and gone on to become history. Lata has reigned through Father and Son composing teams. A rare honour for a rare artiste. Sardar Malik and Anu Malik, Roshan & Rajesh Roshan, S.D.Burman & R.D.Burman, Chiragupt & Anand Milind.

Co-artistes have been kept on their feet by the small wonder. Duets with Lata were always a healthy competition between colleagues. Rafi, Mukesh, Kishore, Manna da would be amazed by the sudden last minute improvisations in the final take. Improvisations that took the song beyond the stipulations of the compositions into the realm of eternity. This unpredictability, this heightened anticipation gave that added edge to scores of duets sung with other legends. Much of this friendly rivalry was indulged in by Lataji with another formidable artiste Mohd. Rafi . Workaholic, perfectionist, master technician, brilliantly versatile Rafi matched her ‘Gayaki’ note to note.
