Mumbai: For someone who was 92 years old, Lata Mangeshkar was quite a regular on social media. She rarely missed wishing eminent personalities on their birthday, condoling deaths or remembering departed souls on birth or death anniversaries.
In fact, her last post was just four days before being admitted to Breach Candy Hospital after testing positive for COVID-19. She tweeted in Marathi at 11.27 pm on January 4, 2022 about the death of social worker Sindutai Sakpal. Deeply saddened by the passing away of ‘Vatsalyasindhu, Lata described her as the mother of orphans and great social worker whose death caused immense damage to society.
वात्सल्यसिंधु, अनाथांच्या आई थोर समाज सेविका सिंधुताई सपकाळ यांच्या निधनाचे वृत्त ऐकताच मला अत्यंत दुःख झाले. त्यांच्या निधनाने समाजाची अपरीमित हानी झाली आहे. दीनानाथ मंगेशकर पुरस्कार देउन आम्ही त्यांचा गौरव केला होता. ईश्वर त्यांच्या आत्म्यास शांति प्रदान करो.

Just over an hour before that on the same night, Lata had posted another tweet to pay tributes to ‘Pancham’ (Rahul Dev Burman) on his death anniversary. Along with a note saluting the famous music director, Lata shared a video of the song “tujhse naraz nahi zindagi” from the film Masoom. RD had composed the music for the 1983 movie while Lata sung the immortal song.
Aaj hum sabke pyare Pancham ki punyatithi hai. Usne jitna bhi sangeet banaaya wo shravaneey tha aur aaj bhi lokpriya hai. Main uski yaad ko vinamra abhivadan karti hun. https://t.co/dgzmr8JxjU
