Lata Mangeshkar may face legal action from Mohammad Rafi’s son

Shaid Rafi told at press conference that “Mohammad Rafi was national property. I am hurt and so are his fans. His fan following is much bigger than any other artist. If  Lata ji can prove that my father had written an apology letter to her, then I am ready to apologies. But the main thing is that she should come forward and produce that letter. All I want is that the truth should come out

Singer Lata Mangeshkar claimed in a newspaper interview that late singer Mohammed Rafi had apologised to her in writing, his son has refuted her, saying that it’s was a publicity stunt and he might even take legal action.

My father passed away about years ago, and now she is talking about this letter? People keep valuable documents for even fifty years. Why she hasn’t retained the paper which would give her dignity, he said.  Lata ji made these claims because she is insecure, he added

Shahid said that before calling the press conference, he did not feel the need to call Mangeshkar because she seemed always “busy”, when he had called her up in the past.

If Mangeshkar fails to submit the letter, Shahid Rafi is contemplating legal action.

Shahid said that Mangeshkar is a good singer. However, by saying such things like she had grudges when she started singing with his father, she is sending a wrong message to the younger generation.
