Soul is missing from songs nowadays: Lata Mangeshkar

Sharing an anecdote from "Abhimaan" -- in which she sang memorable and evergreen tracks like "Piya bina piya bina", "Tere mere milan ki yeh raina" and "Teri bindiya re" for Jaya -- Mangeshkar said: "Jaya-ji used to sit and observe me when I recorded all those songs. Since her presence made me conscious, I asked Hrishikesh-ji (Hrishikesh Mukherjee) the reason and he told me it was a part of her process to get a better insight of her character in the film. "Later, when I saw the film, I was quite blown away to see her wearing red bordered white sari, red bindi and certain mannerisms like I do, unconsciously. But I must say, she did such a wonderful work. She is a very good actress."
