Childhood-

Lata was born into a Gomantak Maratha Samaj family, in the city of Indore, Madhya Pradesh, as the eldest daughter of Pandit Deenanath Mangeshkar in a middle-class family. His father was a theater LGK artist and singer. From his family, brother Hridaynath Mangeshkar and sisters Usha Mangeshkar, Meena Mangeshkar and Asha Bhosle all chose music for their livelihood.

Although Lata was born in Indore, she was brought up in Maharashtra. She wanted to become a singer since childhood. Seeing Chandidas, a film by Kundan Lal Sehgal in her childhood, she had said that she would grow up to marry Sehgal. For the first time, Lata sang for Keerti Haasal, a film directed by Vasang Joglekar. Her father did not want Lata to sing for films, so the song was dropped from the film. But Vasant Joglekar was very much impressed by his talent.

After the death of her father (when Lata was only thirteen years old), Lata faced severe shortage of money and struggled a lot. He did not like acting very much but due to the untimely death of his father, he had to work in some Hindi and Marathi films to earn money. Her first film as an actress was Pahili Mangalagore (1942), in which she played the role of Snehaprabha Pradhan’s younger sister. He later acted in several films, including Majhe Bal, Chimukala Sansar (1943), Gajbhau (1944), Badi Maa (1945), Jeevan Yatra (1946), Maand (1948), Chhatrapati Shivaji (1952). In Badi Maa, Lata starred opposite Noor Jahan and played the role of her younger sister, Asha Bhoslene. He also sang songs for himself and did playback for Asha.

In the year 1942 AD, Lataji’s father died, at this time his age was only thirteen years. Growing up among siblings, the burden of family responsibility also fell on his shoulders. On the other hand, he was also looking for his career. At the time when Lataji stepped into playback singing in (1948), Nur Jahan, Amirbai Karnataki, Shamshad Begum and Rajkumari, etc., used to speak in this area. In such a situation, it was not so easy for him to make his identity. Lata’s first song was for a Marathi film Keeti Hasal, but it could not be released.

In 1945, Ustad Ghulam Haider (who had earlier discovered Noor Jahan) took Lata to a producer’s studio for his upcoming film in which Kamini Kaushal was playing the lead role. They wanted Lata to do playback for that film. But Ghulam Haider was disappointed. In 1947, Vasant Joglekar gave Lata a chance to sing in his film Aapki Seva Mein. Lata was discussed a lot with the songs of this film. After this, Lata cemented her position with songs like “Angrezi Chhora Chala Gaya” and “Dil Mera Toda Hi Mujhe Kahin Ka Na Chhod Tere Pyaar Ne” from the film Mazboor. However, despite this, Lata was still looking for that special hit.

In 1949, Lata got such an opportunity with the song “Aayega Aanewala” from the film “Mahal”. The song was picturized on Madhubala, the most beautiful and popular actress of that time. The film was a huge success and proved to be very auspicious for both Lata and Madhubala. After this, Lata never looked back.
