Taking to the photo-sharing site, Shraddha Kapoor posted a family picture on Lata Mangeshkar's birthday.

Many celebrities extended their warm wishes to 'Lata Didi.' Sarod maestro Amjad Ali Khan took to his Twitter handle and wrote, "Wishing the iconic Nightingale of India, Lata Mangeshkar a very Happy Birthday.

The clip shows Chitra crooning the song Lag Jaa Gale from Woh Kaun Thi. The clip ends with Chitra wishing happy birthday.

PM Narendra Modi also dropped heartfelt wishes for the singer. He wrote, "Birthday greetings to respected Lata Didi. Her melodious voice reverberates across the world. She is respected for her humility & passion towards Indian culture. Personally, her blessings are a source of great strength. I pray for Lata Didi’s long & healthy life. @mangeshkarlata."
