"She is one of the best-known and most respected playback singers in South Asia, especially India." This statement requires explanation. ImmortalWizard(chat) 19:11, 4 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

How is that not a reasonable statement, given what's pointed to by the relevant citation, by her being awarded the Bharat Ratna, being considered one of the greatest Indians (10th greatest, after Gandhi's taken out, by one poll, IIRC), etc. Dhtwiki (talk) 00:22, 5 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

dubious

1962/3 poisoning incident is covered in Aisa Kahan Se Laaoon, a biography by Hindi writer Padma Sachdev. The incident was earlier covered in a documentary series interview of Lata for Channel 4 in 1991 titled Lata Mangeshkar...In Her Own Voice by Nasreen Munni Kabir. The documentary was later published as a book.^[1]^[2]

The article and sources narrate the incident following way: In early 1962, Mangeshkar was given slow poison. A doctor was called. He came with an x-ray machine to examine her, and gave her an injection to render her unconscious, because she was in pain. For three days, she had a close brush with death. After ten days, she began to recover. The doctor told her that somebody had given her slow poison. The slow poison incident rendered her very weak. She was bedridden for nearly 3 months. The most surprising thing was that soon after the incident, the cook who used to work at Lata's home, suddenly vanished without taking his wages. The cook had earlier worked with some Bollywood people. Bollywood lyricist Majrooh Sultanpuri used to regularly visit Lata at her home daily at 6 pm. Majrooh used to first taste the food and then allow Lata to eat. He used to recite poems and stories to keep Lata in good humour.

By reading the incident, it seem dubious because her cook vanished and it seem that she did not filed any police complaint in response to a "conspiracy" to murder her with slow-poisoning. The incident seems like it was an incident of food poisoning and her cook left because he was responsible for the food. I doubt that if there was any serious slow-poison murder conspiracy. The news stories seem sensationalism to me. I will not remove the text without opinions of the other editors. The text in the article is copyvio from IndiaTV source so need to be rewritten at least.-Nizil (talk) 14:45, 4 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The interview is available in parts on YouTube - Part 1. Someone need to watch whole interview to assess the incident.-Nizil (talk) 14:53, 4 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Should the cause of death be mentioned at this article in the infobox table?

Please remove the description of "Maharashtrian Brahmin" from the first sentence of the "Early Life" section. Deenanath Mangeshkar's father was a Karhade Brahmin named Ganesh, but his mother wasn't his father's wife (his father was already married to a Brahmin lady, only the wife's descendants are regarded as Brahmins in Goa) - she was a Devadasi mistress named Yesubai. Hence Deenanath didn't inherit his father's Hardikar surname or Brahmin caste, and instead belonged to Gomantak Maratha Samaj like his mother. Like most members of that group, Deenanath took his surname from his village. Read here: https://www.firstpost.com/entertainment/asha-bhosle-has-not-done-enough-for-goa-bjp-lawmaker-2-760577.html If the family was Brahmin, there wouldn't be any "caste concerns" about Lata's request to perform rituals in the Mangueshi Temple. 2402:3A80:18CD:7058:FED7:77BA:12EA:36E7 (talk) 19:15, 7 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please change "Lata was born in a Maharashtrian Brahmin family" in the first sentence of the Early Life section to "Lata was born in a Gomantak Maratha Samaj family" Source: https://web.archive.org/web/20090105185115/http://www.goa-world.com/goa/books/briefrev.htm

Since Deenanath Mangeshkar's parents were not married to each other, he did not inherit his Karhade Brahmin father's caste and surname but instead inherited his Devadasi mother's caste status.

Her last recorded song was a rendition of the Gāyatrī Mantra at Mukesh Ambani's daughter Isha Ambani's wedding. This is wrong information. Please correct it. On 30 March 2019, Mangeshkar released the song "Saugandh Mujhe Is Mitti Ki", composed by Mayuresh Pai, as a tribute to the Indian army and nation.^[1] This was her last recorded song. And not Gaytri mantra as mentioned in the Wikipedia. Please make this factual correction. Arpit Galohda (talk) 15:52, 11 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, It's quite usual to use a picture of the deceased person when he or she was young.

I was wondering if we could use this picture used by "The Economist" in its obituary as her main picture
