The host for the evening provided a well-researched trivia as he delved into the support the legendary Khemchand Prakash offered her by quitting work at the studio, when she was rejected by a producer there. Peppered with tidbits about the early life and struggles of the singer, who went on to rule the industry for more than six decades, the show had insights into the life of Lata - her admiration for K L Saigal, Egyptian singer Umm Kulthum, and the initial setbacks she faced. This was especially noteworthy during the orchestra-driven Aye-Dil-e-Nadaan that was originally composed with a 100-piece orchestra. With a memorable Aapki Nazron Ne Samjha (Anpadh) and Mera Saaya Saath Hoga (Mera Saaya), Ek Shaam Lata Ke Naam had a special place for Lata’s collaboration with composer Madan Mohan.Īn impeccable orchestra drove the show with its consistency. The lingering Aye-Dil-e-Nadaan (Razia Sultan), a poetic Naam Gum Jayega (Kinaara) and a refreshing Aaj Kal Paon (Ghar), explored the versatile body of work of the singer, who sang for actresses across decades.
