The Indian stalwart, Virat Kohli regrets not getting a chance to meet Indian playback singer Lata Mangeshkar, saying he wanted to have a conversation with the legend to know about her journey. Mangeshkar, widely considered one of the greatest singers, took her last breath in February 2022 due to multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. She was 92. Mangeshkar was a passionate cricket fan.
When asked which historical female figure he would like to take out for dinner, Kohli named Mangeshkar. In a video shared on Twitter, Virat Kohli said, “I never got the chance to meet Lataji, so it would have been amazing to have a conversation and get to know about her life and about her journey a little bit more.”
