Lata Mangeshkar pays tribute to Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose

A former Congress president and once a close associate of Mahatma Gandhi, Bose’s reported death in a plane crash in Formosa, now Taiwan, in 1945 has remained a mystery. He was born on January 23, 1897 in Cuttack, Odisha.

Apart from Lata, veteran filmmaker Subhash Ghai and actress Gul Panag also paid tributes to Bose on the micro-blogging site.

Subhash Ghai tweeted: “My mother told me that my maternal grandfather – big fan of Subhash Chandra Bose – kept my name Subhash because I was born on January 24 morning. Since then I have been his fan too.”
