Melody queen Lata Mangeshkar's reaction to Ranu Mondal, stating that the internet sensation should "be original", has disappointed many fans and social media users, who feel the legendary singer could have been "more gracious".
"Such a superstar and so ungracious," wrote a user on Twitter. A user "disagreed" with Mangeshkar and called her "a bit harsh", while another said that this could have been taken in "true spirits by a senior artist like Lataji".
I am a big fan #LataMangeshkar ji but today her comment on #RanuMondal shows how tall people treat small ones.

"A poor lady sang on a railway platform for a living. #RanuMondal's voice was miraculously noticed by SM and she became a star. Inspiring Lata ji could have been more gracious, complimented and helped her. This lecture on "imitation" was avoidable," another user said.

Not a single word of appreciation for the poor lady who wanted nothing but two square meals for singing a song. such shallowness is not expected from a person of this stature and age as Lataji. #RanuMondal #LataMangeshkar

Ranu became an overnight social media sensation after a video of her singing Lata Mangeshkar's soulful number Ek pyaar ka nagma hai at Ranaghat railway platform went viral on the internet. The video paved the way for her phenomenal rise from a street singer to a debutante playback singer in Bollywood.
Ranu has now recorded three tracks for singer-composer Himesh Reshammiya.
