Sachin Tendulkar even considered Lata Mangeshkar as his mother. On her 90th birthday, Sachin had shared an anecdote from their meeting and wrote, “I would like to wish you on your 90th birthday. Honestly speaking, I do not remember the first time I listened to one of your songs. I do not think there has been a day when I did not listen to your song. You have always showered your blessings on me. I still remember the time when you gave me handwritten lyrics of ‘Tu Jahan jahan chalega’. I will always remember that gift of yours.”
