Two Continuous Loss in Bollywood


Bollywood is itself a world, actually a big world. If a person is born, death is there too. The same thing has happened with the Bollywood world. We lost two great personalities recently, which is a loss for us. The Nightingale of India and Indian Playback singer, Lata Mangeshkar Ji. The popular bheem avatar of BR Chopra's Serial Mahabharat, Parveen Kumar Sobti Ji. Both of them are great Bollywood personalities.

We will miss both of them as one is the Voice of the Millennium, and the other one is our childhood hero.
