Lata Mangeshkar was the first lady who stood for Royalty for Singers

| Lata Mangeshkar was the fearless lady |
On the day of Miss Lata Mangeshkar demise, a big loss to Bollywood music and film industry, every fan of her has teary eyes. She had a solid fan base not only because she had a beautiful unique voice but also because of her fearless personality. She was the lady in the Bollywood music and film industry who took serious initiatives towards the establishment of justice and took steps for the recognition of singers in the Bollywood industry.
The fearless Lady
Lata Mangeshkar was the first female singer who demanded higher pay and royalties. She challenged male singers like Mohammand Rafi, who was known to have racked up a greater number of singing credits in numbers.
At that time, women in Indian cinema, in any form, were pliant, often hesitant to take a stand as it would mean losing work. But Lata Mangeshkar stood her ground. And this compounded her differences with two powerful men and professional allies to her meteoric rise.
When asked about her personality, Lata Mangeshkar said "I am a self-made person. I have learned how to fight. I have never been scared of anyone. I am quite fearless. But I never imagined I would get as much as I have".
She was a path breaker in her battles for singers and song writers and still remembered today as the first lady who asked for royalty fee for singers and musicians apart from the music directors. Touring for music and performing on stage had begun to grow for Hindi film music across India and in some parts of the world. While music companies would pay a royalty to music directors, while singers and song writers would get only a one time payment for their contribution in the infamous work.
First Lata had a fall out with Mohammed Rafi. The veteran singer believed in art over money. Battling over royalties to him was disgraceful. He scolded Lata and told her that he wouldn’t ever sing another duet with her. Both had delivered super hit numbers like Sun Mera Sajna Re, Do Sitaron Ke Zameen Par, Dheere Dheere Chal... Rafi refused to support Lata on this matter, and Asha Bhosle seemed to side with Rafi. Both sent out a clear message to music composers, we won’t work together anymore. While Rafi’s lack of support turned some veteran filmmakers and producers against Lata, Kishore Kumar, a fresh voice on the horizon, stood by her firmly.
Today, not only Indians but Pakistanis and her fans from international media base mourns her death. Lata Mangeshkar was the woman of love, integrity, respect and charisma. 6th February, 2022, is now marked on the calendar as the day of loss of this revanenous beauty.
