Since Shankar continued to support Sharda (post "Sangam" era) and even ghost-composed music for her film and non-film albums, it is said that Lata Mangeshkar became angry with him and discontinued singing for him. Whereas there may be some truth in this assertion, the other fact is that Lata Mangeshkar had stopped working with him after "Sangam" due to her anger against both Raj Kapoor and Shankar in making her sing "Budhha Mil Gaya" from "Sangam" which she was not keen as she did not feel comfortable with the lyrics of the song. Nevertheless, she continued singing for Jaikishan even after "Sangam" and till the end.
