One such incident was shared by a prominent singer, Sonu Nigam on the show when Lata Ji sang at Royal Albert Hall, London. "When Lataji got an opportunity to perform at the Royal Albert Hall, she was a bit confused. It was one of the most prestigious places to perform and it was a matter of pride for any singer to perform at that iconic place. Lataji was the first Indian singer to perform at the Royal Albert Hall. It was an honor not only for her but also for all Indians as well." said Sonu Nigam.
