"I had a beautiful relationship with her. She was keenly interested in music and even I have heard that she was a good singer herself," Mangeshkar added.
इंदिराजी के साथ मेरे बहुत अच्छे सम्बंध थे , उन्हें संगीत में बहुत रुचि थी. मैं सुना है की वो अच्छा गाती भी थी।— Lata Mangeshkar (@mangeshkarlata) October 31, 2017
Indira Gandhi was assassinated on October 31, 1984, by her bodyguards a few months after she ordered the storming of the Harmandir Sahib in Amritsar to counter the Punjab insurgency.
She held office from January 1966 to March 1977, and again from January 14, 1980, until her death.
