Not just that, Ritika’s captivating story of meeting another legend of the Indian music industry, Lata Mangeskar, makes the episode even more entertaining and engaging.Ritika says, “I have a photo from when I was 13 years old, where I had my head resting on her (Lata ji) lap. When she entered, it felt as though there was an aura of light around her. She greeted us with a Namaskar and told us to sit, reassuring us not to be scared of her. In just two hours, she shared so much with us, explaining how recordings happen. She even brought samosas for us. We were all nervous about eating in front of her, but she said, "I also eat everything, so you should too."
Ritika feels meeting the iconic singers is the biggest blessing of her life.She added, "I may not know what the future holds or how successful I will become, but I feel my life is already successful because I have been blessed with two Saraswati Maa’s - Lata ji and Shreya ji."(UNI)
