I wept almost 300 times in three days: Lata Mangeshkar

Describing the terror attacks on Mumbai as a blow to the city’s spirit, singer Lata Mangeshkar said that she never felt so disturbed in life and almost wept 300 times in the last three days. “I can’t express my emotion in words. I never felt so disturbed in my life. I have been watching TV constantly for the last three days wept and 300 times,” the legendary singer said. Speaking about Hemant Karkare, the Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) Chief, who died fighting terrorists, she said, “I knew him personally and today when he is not alive, I am feeling his presence all around.” “When I heard the song Ae Mere Watan Ke Logon on television channels were playing during the last rites of the martyrs, I felt the same pain, I experienced when I sang it,” she said.
