Naushad Ali considered me his younger sister: Lata
Mumbai, Dec 25 (IBNS) Legendary singer Lata Mangeshkar on Thursday remembered late musician Naushad Ali on his 95th birth anniversary.
"Greetings, today is legendary musician Naushad Ali's birth anniversary," she tweeted.
She wrote that she has worked with him from 1948 and that she is missing those days on the occasion.
She said that Naushad was not only a magnificent musician but was equally a very good human being.
