During Modi’s first swearing-in as Prime Minister, Amitabh Bachchan attended the ceremony, but Lataji, due to prior commitments, expressed her regret at not being able to attend. In a heartfelt message to Zoom, she shared her joy at Modi’s victory, describing it as a triumph of the common man. She drew a parallel between Modi’s rise and her own journey, saying, “I am overjoyed at Modiji’s victory. It is in many ways the triumph of the common man, and I fully identify with the saga of a soul from the soil reaching the highest pinnacle of success. In a way, it reminds me of my own journey.”

A Lasting Legacy

The deep respect Modi had for Lata Mangeshkar was evident when he honored her memory with the first Lata Deenanath Mangeshkar Award. The award ceremony at the Shanmukhananda Hall was a poignant moment, marked by Modi’s heartfelt tribute to Lataji. He described her as his ‘Badi Bahen,’ not only because of her age but also due to her deeds and contributions. Modi’s speech was a sincere outpouring of emotions, reflecting the deep admiration he held for her simplicity and grace.

In his tribute, Modi expressed regret over the fact that this Raksha Bandhan would be without a rakhi from his Badi Bahen, highlighting the personal loss he felt. His words flowed with genuine affection and respect, emphasizing Lataji’s impact on his life and career.

Lata Mangeshkar was always vocal about her support for Narendra Modi’s leadership. She expressed pride in his achievements and admired his dedication to transforming India.

Modi had once expressed a desire for Lataji to contest the Lok Sabha elections from Gujarat, although she had no interest in pursuing politics. Despite some persuasion, Lataji remained focused on her music career and her support for Modi’s vision. She commented, “But I had absolutely no interest in politics. I am just happy that the country has voted for change. Modiji has changed the face of India. He has made us so proud internationally. When he stands on an international platform, all of India stands with him. He has done so much for our nation. I wish Narendrabhai many many milestones.”
