Shankar Mahadevan is on cloud nine. His life-long desire to work with his idol, Lata Mangeshkar, is about to be fulfilled. Mahadevan (45) will soon record his first song with the legendary songstress.
Talking about his dream project, Mahadevan said, 'It is my greatest dream in life to work with Lata Didi. To me, she is Mata Saraswati. I was touched by the beautiful things she said about me. I felt my musical journey has been worth the hard work. My first recording with her was when I played the Veena for bhajan in album Ram Shyam Gun Gaan she recorded with Pandit Bhimsen Joshi. I was 11 years old at the time. Exactly my younger son, Shivam's age. My journey started with her blessings. And now I want Shivam too to embark on his musical journey with her blessings."
Mahadevan said he goes by his favourite book The Secret (by Rhonda Byrne). "If you wish for something sincerely from the bottom of your heart, it will happen. I prayed almost my entire life for a chance to sing with Lata Didi at least once. And my wish has come true. I am blessed. My Pranam to the Saraswati of Indian music," said the prolific singer-composer.
