Sad but true, the two prestigious award ceremonies Oscars and Grammys 2022 did not recognize Lata Mangeshkar. Every year, both of them have a 'In Memoriam' segment where they mention all the great artistes who left the world. In 2o21, Irrfan Khan found a mention, and so did Sushant Singh Rajput. However, Lata Mangeshkar's name did not come up. This left a number of desis rather upset. Now, Kangana Ranaut has called for a complete boycott of both the Oscars and Grammys by the Indian media. She said that they are just masquerading as international award shows when they do not really respect geographical and ethnic differences.
