As a tribute to the remarkable legacy of the Mangeshkar sisters- Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhosle- their brother, revered singer Hridaynath Mangeshkar has revealed plans to make Asia's biggest hospital in their memory.
In a recent interview, he revealed that the project was first aimed as a tribute to their elder sister, legendary singer Lata Mangeshkar. But with Asha Bhosle's demise ahead of the opening ceremony on April 16th, the decision came out to name the medical institution after both of them.
