Mumbai, Oct 31 (IANS): Melody queen Lata Mangeshkar on Tuesday paid a tribute to former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi on her 33rd death anniversary, saying she not just had a keen interest in music but was also a good singer.
"Today is the death anniversary of India's first and only woman Prime Minister Indira Gandhiji. I pay homage to her," Mangeshkar tweeted.

"I had a beautiful relation with her. She was keenly interested in music and even I have heard that she was a good singer herself," Mangeshkar added.
