Asha Bhosle

In a recent interview she said, " I have not seen the video nor do I intend to. My grandson Chintu informed me about it as I don’t even watch television. I don’t want to say anything except for we are talking about a woman (Lata didi), who has worked for 70-80 years of her life, spreading joy and happiness through her music. I now want to wait and watch how many people will stand by us. Most people have a knack of debating about it for a couple of days and forgetting about it. Aaplya deshat, Bharat Ratnancha kiti aadar aahe hey baghaycha aahe (I want to see what respect and honour do the Bharat Ratnas get in our country). The government has bestowed this honour upon them. They must make a note of this."

Javed Akhtar

In a recent interview, Jave Akhtar ridiculed Tanmay's parody on Lata Mageshkar and was qouted saying, "This guy—I don't want to give him publicity by taking his name—doesn't know what Lataji means to us. He thought he would get away with it. But everyone I've spoken to since the past two days has expressed only dismay and disgust. This chap has the mind of a cockroach. Humour is something we all appreciate. But what is funny about ridiculing Lataji? The video is cheap and unworthy of getting any attention. The chap had not bargained for the backlash. Since he had gotten away with so much crassness in the past he thought he would get away this time. But there are celebrities. And then there is Lata Mangeshkar. You can't get away with ridiculing her."
