On her 90th birthday, legendary singer Lata Mangeshkar will be releasing the Hindi translation of her sister Meena Mangeshkar-Khadikar's memoir.

The book, titled Didi Aur Main, will be released by Lata Mangeshkar on September 29, a day after her birthday, at her Mumbai residence.

The memoir is a translation of Marathi book Mothi Tichi Saavli, which released last year.

It traverses Meena Mangeshkar's journey from Lata Mangeshkar's struggles to her raging success. It is replete with first-hand information and anecdotes from Lata Mangeshkar's 70-year-long musical career.

“The book (Didi Aur Main) is my gift to didi on her 90th birthday. I have tried my best to coalesce into this book the bittersweet memories of the Mangeshkar family,” said Meena Mangeshkar said in a statement.

The memoir also features candid pictures of the Mangeshkar family and a foreword by megastar Amitabh Bachchan.
