Lata Mangeshkar wanted to marry Pakistani Legendary classical singer Ustad Salamat Ali Khan

 Pakistani journalist Tahir Sarwar Mir, who has reported extensively about the film industry in Pakistan and India, told SAMAA TV that Lata Mangeshkar wanted to marry Pakistani Legendary classical singer Ustad Salamat Ali Khan


Lata Mangeshkar, the Queen of Melody and the legendary Indian playback singer is considered the voice of the millennium. But Lata herself never found love and the story behind this is truly heartbreaking.


While the whole world was enchanted by Lata’s songs, she herself lost her heart to the Pakistani legend of classical music, Ustad Salamat Ali Khan. Yes, the queen of music was in love with Ustad Salamat, who was considered the “Tan Sen” of his era.

 

According to Riffat Salamat, daughter of Ustad Salamat, she, along with her mother and father went to India to meet Lata Mangeshkar but she couldn’t share details of what happened there as it was a personal matter.


If my father had married Lata, Perhaps I would be proud but at the same time, I would feel sad for my mother. It’s a complicated emotion just like their love story.


Their love began in the 1950s when both Lata and Ustad Salamat were reckoned as wonders of the music world. While Lata was a playback singer for Bollywood movies, Ustad Salamat was the master of classical music. The trance and truth of music brought them closer to each other. They fell in love and even decided to get married but unfortunately, never made it.


During an interview with Pakistani media, Lata expressed her desire to visit Pakistan and said that she would fly to Lahore if she had wings. Lata’s love for him was everlasting even though Ustad Salamat was married to Razia Begum. According to their close friend, Badal Chaudhry, Lata was even willing to be Salamat’s second wife and suggested him to spend six months in Pakistan with his first wife and remaining with her in India.

 

The melodious queen of sub-continent who reportedly had lost her heart to Pakistani classic songs legend Ustaad Salamat Ali Khan, has lost her life on Sunday in Mumbai without getting married during her 92 years life span.
