Mumbai, Lata Mangeshkar will on Wednesday be conferred the first Hridaynath Award, a lifetime achievement award instituted to mark her younger brother Hridaynath Mangeshkar entering his 75th year next month, an official said.
The award will be presented by Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan in the presence of special guest and film-maker Yash Chopra at Matunga’s Shanmukhananda Hall.
Hridaynath, who was instrumental in forming Hridayesh Arts, a social-cultural organisation 21 years ago, wanted the award to be given to individuals who have reached the summit of excellence in their chosen field and ruled over the hearts of millions, the official said.
