India's legendary singer Lata Mangeshkar was so deeply saddened by
the Mumbai terror attacks that she wept repeatedly while watching it
live on TV.

Speaking to a news agency, Lata Mangeshkar, who has indisputably been
the most respected singer in Hindi film industry, said she was deeply
distressed by the attack on the city that's so dear to her.

"I can't express my emotion in words. I never felt so disturbed in my
life. I have been watching TV constantly for the last three days wept
and 300 times," the singer is quoted by the news agency.

Lata said even though she had a premonition that Mumbai could be
targeted by terrorists she never anticipated an attack on such a
large scale.

"I had a premonition that after Gujarat and Delhi, Mumbai could be
the next target. Even I discussed it with my family members. I never
imagined something like this can happen," Lata is quoted as saying.

Even as the whole nation salutes the martyred ATC chief Hemant
Karkare for having sacrificed his life in the line of fire, Lata says
she knew him personally.

"I knew him personally and today when he is not alive, I am feeling
his presence all around," Lata said.

"When I heard the song 'Ae Mere Watan Ke Logon' television channels
were playing during the last rites of the martyrs, I felt the same
pain, I experienced when I sang it," added the distressed singer.
