For millions, Lata Ji’s voice has been a constant companion through life. For Shreya Ghoshal, it has been even more: a guiding force, a source of comfort, and the blueprint of excellence. “Lata Ji is the foundation of everything I know about music,” Shreya Ghoshal says. “Her voice shaped my childhood. Her songs carried me through triumphs and heartbreaks. If I could speak to her today, I’d tell her that she still lives in every note I sing. ‘Letters to Lata Didi’ is my love letter from a lifelong admirer to the greatest voice India has ever known.”
Frederick Dsouza, Business Head – Credit Cards, Kotak Mahindra Bank, says:“Collaborating with Shreya Ghoshal for ‘Letters to Lata Didi’ is an extension of our promise to bring world-class experiences to our customers.

Through exclusive presale access, special discounts, and unique privileges like Meet & Greet, we’re ensuring Kotak cardholders are at the heart of this historic tribute.”
But the tribute doesn’t end with Shreya Ghoshal. At the heart of ‘Letters to Lata Didi’ lies a unique and deeply moving idea: a nationwide invitation for people to write their own video letters to Lata Didi about what they would say to her if they had one more chance to express gratitude. From iconic collaborators, composers, and artists to fans across generations and everyday admirers whose lives were shaped by her songs, these letters will form the emotional backbone of the show.
As the evening progresses on the eve of International Women’s Day, audiences will journey through iconic melodies and the emotional landscapes shaped by Lata Mangeshkar’s voice. What emerges is not just a tribute concert, but a celebration of an era, a legacy, and the woman whose music continues to define the soul of a nation.
