Lata Mangeshkar to honour Ranveer Singh

Mumbai, Feb 26: “Bajirao Mastani” actor Ranveer Singh will be honoured with Dinanath Mangeshkar Award in April, says melody queen Lata Mangeshkar.

The Mangeshkar clan — led by Lata — honours artistes to commemorate their father Pandit Dinanath Mangeshkar’s death anniversary every year. This year, the award will be bestowed upon Ranveer at a function to be held in Pune on April 24.

“Ranveer is a very good actor and seems to be a very positive human being. He spreads happiness wherever he goes. We are happy to give this annual award, named after our father, to Ranveer,” Lata Mangeshkar said in a statement.

Ranveer made his Bollywood acting debut with “Band Baaja Baaraat” in 2010. He went on to feature in hit films like “Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela” and “Lootera”. (IANS)
