Lata Mangeshkar has never married and lives with her younger brother Hridaynath.
Lata Mangeshkar is one of the most famous singers in India, having recorded over 50,000 songs in 20 different languages. Her career spans over seven decades and she is the sister of singer Hridaynath Mangeshkar. While Lata’s career has been a major success, her personal life has been a little more complicated. Lata never married and instead lives with her younger brother Hridaynath, who is also a singer. There are many reasons why Lata chose to live with her brother instead of getting married.
Why did Lata never marry?
It’s very common for Indian women to be expected to get married before they turn 30 years old. This expectation can be hard on some women, especially if they haven’t found the right person yet or don’t want to get married at all. In an interview with Rediff in 2013, Lata said that she didn’t feel pressured by society into getting married and that she was still open to the idea of marriage if it came along.
What happened when fans asked about marriage?
In 2015, fans asked Lata why she had never gotten married during a concert in Australia. In response, she said that marriage was not something you do just because everyone else is doing it and that she was happy living with her brother.
