Aishwarya Rai Bachchan pays handsome tribute to Lata Mangeshkar.

Like most Indians, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan
has been a Lata Mangeshkar fan most of
her life. It is with much pride and pleasure
that she plays a singer and huge fan of the
Goddess Of all melodious things in Atul
Manjrekar's Fanne Khan.
While Aishwarya is not allowed to talk
about the role, a source close to the actress
revealed, "She plays a popular singer in the
film and a fan of Lataji. You can't escape the
Nightingale's influence if you're playing a
singer.
The source further informs that producer
Prernaa Arora is trying to acquire the rights
for a few of the Nightingale's most famous
melodies. "Aishwarya will sing original
tracks as well as Lataji's numbers in Fanne
Khan. That isn't the film's only connection
with Lataji. In the film, Anil Kapoor's
daughter who plays an aspiring singer is
named Lata, says the source.
When asked how she felt about Aishwarya
leaning toward Lataji as her role model in
Fanne Khan the Nightingale remarked, "It is
good to hear that she is fond of my singing.
Aishwarya is so beautiful and she does full
justice to my songs. I think I sang for her
for the first time in Mohabbatein. The
number Humko Humhi Se Chura Lo' was a
big hit. It's a beautiful melody and
Aishwarya looked lovely lip-syncing it on
screen.
Lataji goes on to express her fondness for
the entire Bachchan family. "I am very fond
of Bachchanji and Jayaji. And I think they
are fond of me too. Abhishek and
Aishwarya make a handsome couple. The
Bachchans are indeed the pride of the film
industry.
