The Queen of Dandiya dedicates a song to the Empress of Melody, who turns 80 on September 20.

Falguni Pathak sings a Gujarati number, originally sung by Lata Mangeshkar.

"I am too small to talk about Lataji," Falguni told rediff.com

"Whatever I am today is because of her and her songs. It is only by listening to her songs that I have reached this position. I haven't had the opportunity to sing with her, but I would love to. I was fortunate to meet her during the launch of my first album (Maine Payal Hai Chankayi). She appreciated my work."
