Bollywood has given us many great singers and if you count the greatest you cannot take off the Nightingale of India aka Lata Mangeshkar off the list.

A Twitter user by the handle @ikaveri tweeted that the legendary singer Lata Mangeshkar was overrated, tweeting that Indians had been brainwashed into thinking that she has a good voice. In a series of tweets she criticised Lata Mangeshkar. Below are few tweets,
The topic ‘Lata Mangeshwar’ was soon seen trending on Twitter, with more than 6,000 tweets as many, many came to the defence of the celebrated singer and highlighted her achievements in her illustrious career. Some even shared links to Mangeshkar’s most popular songs, pointing out that it’s unacceptable to speak ill of her “golden voice”.
Singer Adnan Sami jumped to the defence of legendary singer after being called her overrated by a Twitter user. Adnan advised the Twitter user to stay silent rather than letting the world know of their stupidity. Replying to it, Adnan wrote,
“Bandar Kya Jaane Adrak Ka Swaad (What does the monkey know of the good taste of ginger). …It’s better to stay silent and appear stupid than to open your mouth & remove all doubt!!”

Not just Adnan Sami, filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri also defended the legendary singer. He tweeted,
One of the reasons I believe in Saraswati and divine is because of Lata Mangeshkar.
One of the reasons I believe in devil is because of her haters.
