Lata Mangeshkar has a global fan following, being a perfectionist Lataji has inspired many of her fans to strive for excellence. Inspired by Lataji Mr.Uday Mahadeo Talwalkar made the World's Biggest Typewritten Portrait (21.4 ft x 13.3 ft) of Lata Mangeshkar. Mr. Talwalkar used 364 A-4 size sheets of paper which took approximately 236 hours spread over the last 5 years. Space was left on the right & bottom sides of the paper to easily paste sides of the papers one upon the other. Mr. Talwalkar feels he selected the most appropriate celebrity, Lata Mangeshkar, since she is a great artist and has been singing for the more than last 50 years and her contribution to the Indian culture is incomparable.
