The last words of the fashion blogger who passed away in 2018 falsely shared under the name of Lata Mangeshkar

The viral message is not the last words of Lata Mangeshkar

Lata Mangeshkar, who entertained the world with her melodies for seven decades and was honoured by India with the Bharat Ratna, died on 6 February, 2022, leaving everyone in tears. An image and a statement titled the last words of Lata Mangeshkar are circulating on social media, with the claim that the image portrays Lata Mangeshkar while she is in the hospital, and the note comprises the spiritual lessons she has learnt over her life.

 The post reads, “Nothing in this world is more true than death. The world’s most expensive branded car is parked in my garage. But I was confined to a wheelchair! All the different designs and colours, expensive clothes, expensive shoes, expensive accessories in this world are in my house. But I’m in a hospital-provided short gown! I have a lot of money in my bank account so it is of no use to me. My house is like a palace to me, but I am lying in a small bed in a hospital. I kept moving to five-star hotels in this world. But now I am being sent from one lab to another in the hospital!
At one point 7 hairdressers would do my hair every day. But today I have no hair on my head. I have eaten at various 5-star hotels around the world. But today my diet is two pills a day and a drop of salt at night. I was traveling around the world on different planes. But today two people help me to the hospital veranda.
None of the facilities helped me. I am in no way slacking off on that. But the faces of some loved ones, their prayers keep me alive. This is life. No matter how rich you are, you will eventually leave empty-handed. So be kind and help those you can. Avoid judging people for money and power.
Love good people, love people who are there for you, don’t hurt anyone, be good, be good because that’s what will get you through”- Lata Mangeshkar”.

Fact Check- 

Lata Mangeshkar died on 6 February, 2022; thus, we reviewed the news and reports at that period. She became critically ill from COVID and was kept alive in her last days with the help of a ventilator. There was no evidence that she made such a statement in those days. In addition, the post shows indicators of cancer. However, it is obvious that Lata Mangeshkar died of COVID and pneumonia in Mumbai’s Breach Candy Hospital.

A keyword search using the words of the post led us to the spiritual thought shared by the late famous fashion blogger Kyrzayda Rodriguez. Rodriguez kept her followers engaged with her meticulous fashion sense even to her last breath. She often wrote about how life with cancer had taught her to appreciate the little things in life. She left the world in September 2018 after battling with cancer.

Their words were further expanded and circulated as a note. Rodriguez was born in the Dominican Republic. She was a pioneer of fashion in the Rodriguez Latina blogging community. She was diagnosed with stomach cancer in November 2017. She shared updates about the disease on her Instagram account and Facebook page without hiding the disease. According to the reports, she was active on social media even during the period of severe illness and released such a video during this time.

Moving forward, we came across an India Today report stating that Singer Lata Mangeshkar’s recitation of a verse from Bhagwad Gita was her last audio message, which was recorded by Anupam Kher. He shared the recording on Twitter, remembering the legendary singer. 

So, we can understand that the last words of international fashion blogger Kyrzayda Rodrigues, who passed away in 2018, are circulating with the claim that they are the last words of Lata Mangeshkar.

Conclusion- 

Fact Crescendo found the claim made along with the viral video to be False.  These are the last words shared to the world by international fashion blogger Kyrzayda Rodriguez who died in September 2018. It is unrelated to Lata Mangeshkar.
