Kangana Ranaut recently took to Instagram and shared a video of Asha Bhosle talking about her late sister, singer Lata Mangeshkar. In the video, Asha shared that Lata would never sing at weddings, no matter how much money she was offered. Kangana shared in the caption that she too, has followed the same mantra.

The video is from Asha’s appearance at DID Li’l Masters where she spoke about how Lata had once refused a million dollars to perform for two hours at a wedding. Asha recalled that Lata had even said that even of she was offered 5 million dollars, she would refuse it. She said, “Yeh artist mein hona chahiye (This should be within an artist).”

Sharing the video, Kangana wrote, “Agree!!! Even I never danced in weddings or private parties, even though I have the most popular songs… denied insane amount of money… glad to come across the video… Lataji truly so inspiring.”
