Bharat Ratna Lata Mangeshkar does not understand Telugu language, but she had watched Telugu film “Devadas” starring veteran actor Akkineni Nageshwar Rao at least 10 times.
This was admitted by Lata Mangeshwar herself at her felicitation programme held at Telugu Lalitha Kala Vedika on Sunday. She said she was a great fan of Nageshwar Rao and though she did not know Telugu language, she watched a few of his movies. “Particularly, his Devadas was wonderful film. I didn’t understand Telugu, but I watched it 10 times. The actors, including Nageshwara Rao, acted excellently in the movie,” she said.
It was a proud moment for Nageshwara Rao, who was on the dais. Congress MP T Subbarami Reddy patted on his back, stating that he was too lucky to have Lata as his fan. The compliment came a day before Lata is to get ANR meritorious award.
