Anushka Sharma said, "God speaks through beautiful voices' Sad sad day for India as our nightingale leaves her mortal body. Lataji's voice has immortalised her for ever. She will live in our hearts through her music. My deepest condolences to her family, friends and fans. RIP Lataji."

Deepika Padukone wrote, "1929 - (infinity sign)." Parineeti Chopra said, "I learnt hindustani classical music, but was given leeway to do riyaaz on her songs.
