The singer quipped that her niece Rachana, on being asked about her favourite song amid lockdown, said that she listens to the hit song 'Parde mein rehene do parda na uthaao' (Let me be under the veil, don't lift it up). Due to the scare of the novel coronavirus, people have been staying indoors and have been advised to not step out. The song, sung by Lata's sister Asha Bhosle for the 1968 film Shikar, is so apt for the current situation around the globe.
