When Lata Mangeshkar walked out of school because Asha Bhosle was not allowed to attend class

When Lata Mangeshkar walked out of school because Asha Bhosle was not allowed to attend class

Lata Mangeshkar had once walked out of her school. She only attended her school for one day.

On her first day of school, Lata Mangeshkar took her younger sister Asha, then aged about 10 months, with her and when her teacher objected to it, she angrily went back home never to return again.

She learnt the Marathi alphabet from her house help who taught the singer to read and write the basics.

"I must have been about three or four when I asked our servant, Vitthal, who was a teenager at the time, to teach me the Marathi alphabet and how to read and write the basics. I studied Marathi at home," she told filmmaker-author Nasreen Munni Kabir, who later adapted these conversations as a book titled "Lata Mangeshkar...in her own voice".

Mangeshkar, however, had attended some nursery classes before. "The teacher used to write 'Shri Ganeshji' on the blackboard, and I used to copy it perfectly. I got 10 out of 10."

How will you remember Lata Mangeshkar? Pay your tributes here.

At that time, her cousin Vasanti was studying in the third standard at Murlidhar School, a Marathi-medium school just opposite to their house in Sangli, a city in Maharashtra. Sometimes she would tag along with her cousin and whenever Vasanti had a music lesson, Mangeshkar used to attentively listen to the teacher singing.

"One day, the teacher, pointing at me, asked my cousin: 'Who is she?' I jumped up saying: 'I am Master Deenanath's daughter!' She said: 'He is such a great singer. Can you sing?' I told her I could sing many raags, and rattled off their names: Malkauns, Hindol, etc. She led me straight off to the staff room where all the teachers were sitting and asked me to sing. So, I sang a classical song based on Hindol. I was four or five," the book, published by Niyogi, mentioned.
