In the same interview to the leading daily, Javed Akhtar also revealed that Lataji had reached out to him after she started hearing about the video and the public response. Akhtar, had reportedly advised Lataji to not to watch the video.
“She asked me what’s in this video that has offended her well-wishers so much. I told her not to even go there. I advised her not to look at it. And she mercifully agreed. I can’t bear to think what she would have thought at the grotesque parody”
Interestingly, Lata ji, when asked to comment over the issue by an entertainment portal, had said that she hasn’t watched the video and neither does she know who Tanmay Bhat is.
All we can say it was a nice piece of advice from Javed Akhtar to the legendary singer, who deserves every ounce of respect she has earned over the years.
