Well, age has truly been just a number for Asha Bhosle, as even at 90, the singer has shown impeccable zeal and enthusiasm towards not just her life, but her passion for music and holding events. Earlier, during a press conference ahead of her grand concert post her 90th birthday, Asha divulged what drives her to hosting such highly-energetic events even at such an age. She mentioned:
“I will also not come again… You should never regret that you haven’t seen that person. People say we did not see Kishore Kumar and other singers. But now you can say we have seen Asha Bhosle. I got the name and fame, people started recognising me. Even though when I am not working, I keep singing. I keep practising. I never left singing, that’s why my voice is okay even today.”
Asha Bhosle, having surpassed so many decades of career, has seen a number of both highs and lows in her career. Life hadn’t been easy for her, and the artist has had to pave her way to the top of the ladder through sheer hard work. In one of her candid conversations with her son, Anand Bhosle with PME Entertainment’s live concert, she had opened up about dealing with tough times in her life. Recalling the past days, Asha mentioned how music had been her breath all throughout her life, even during the times when she thought she wouldn’t survive through testing times.

For Asha Bhosle, her elder sister and the ‘Nightingale of India’, Lata Mangeshkar has been the one true inspiration in music. While the latter’s fame needs no introduction to the world, back in the days, rumours were rife that the two sisters had a stiff rivalry and competition with each other. Previously, in an interview with the Hindustan Times, Asha had addressed such conjectures and said:
“People did carry tales and try to create trouble, but blood is thicker than water. I remember, sometimes both of us would be at a function and some industry types would ignore me and interact only with her, as if to prove their loyalty. Later, didi and I would have a good laugh.”
