<p>Everyone who loves Hindi film music has a favourite Asha Bhosle song. For a classical music lover, there is a <i>Piya Baawari</i> from<i> Khubsurat</i>, for those who love ghazals, there are songs like <i>Inn Aankhon Ki Masti </i>and <i>Dil Cheez Kya Hai, </i>for the 90s kids, her pop songs <i>Janam Samjha Karo</i> and <i>Rangeela Re </i>are instant recalls. Bhosle’s work connected with one and all, transcending age, genre and languages.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As she breathed her last on Sunday, the 92-year-old legend left behind a musical legacy that will remain timeless for years to come. Her music, her ability to adapt to changing times, her style of singing the same line of a song in five different ways each time, her mastery over genres like ghazal, pop, and cabaret will remain an text book example of versatility for singers for years.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h2>Early beginnings and breaking out of the looming shadow of Lata Mangeshkar</h2><p>It wasn’t a smooth start for Asha Mangeshkar. Born to Dinanath Mangeshkar, a stage actor and a musician, Asha and her siblings were exposed to music from a young age. She was 9 when she lost her father, and by 10, she started supporting her elder sister Lata Mangeshkar in running the household.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>At 16, when she eloped with a much older Ganpatrao Bhosle, it put a strain not only on her personal relations with elder sister Lata Mangeshkar, but also a dent in her brimming career in playback music.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In the 1940s and 50s, Lata Mangeshkar and Geeta Dutt dominated the Hindi playback scene and sang for almost all leading heroines. Bhosle struggled to find songs that would feature the heroine. Instead, she sang for the other female characters and even the vamps. Bhosle sang innumerable songs for the vamp, the other woman. Some of Helen’s iconic songs, like <i>O Haseena Zulfon Wali </i>and <i>Piya Tu,</i> were sung by Bhosle.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Also read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/asha-bhosle-iconic-collaborations-with-sister-lata-mangeshkar-that-defined-an-era-1775982592128">Asha Bhosle iconic collaboration with sister Lata Mangeshkar</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Instead of mimicking the prevailing style, Bhosle leaned to pivot. She leaned into the technical difficulty of those questionable songs, developing a sharper, more rhythmic, and textured voice that could handle fast tempos and westernised beats. The result was a unique voice and style that people swooned over.&nbsp;</p><h2>The Other Mangeshkar</h2><p>While Lata Mangeshkar became the voice of India, her sister Asha became the rebel. Funny how life imitated their career choices, the two sisters dominated Indian music and created their unique style. Mangeshkar remained the leading voice of Indian heroines, but Bhosle created her own niche; one could sing a cabaret number with equal ease, just like she could sing a classical number.&nbsp;</p><h2>The architects of her songs</h2><p>Music director OP Nayyar's association with Bhosle is part of Hindi film lore. He was the composer who first gave Bhosle her own identity. Amid rumours of a relationship, Bhosle and Nayyar created some of the most iconic hits of the 1950s and 60s. These timeless classics remained Bhosle’s biggest hits of all time. The composer-singer duo first collaborated in 1954 for a film called <i>Mangu </i>and in the next two decades created songs like <i>Aaiye Meharbaan </i>picturised on Madhubala (<i>Howrah Bridge</i>, 1958) and <i>Yeh Hai Reshmi Zulfon Ka Andhera,</i> (<i>Mere Sanam,</i> 1965). They also recorded songs for many hit movies like <i>Tumsa Nahin Dekha </i>(1957), E<i>k Musafir Ek Hasina </i>(1962) and<i> Kashmir Ki Kali </i>(1964).</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>Nayyar and Bhosle parted ways in 1972. Bhosle by then had created a name for herself not just by singing sirenish songs but also songs for the female lead of a film. Other music composers like SD Burman, Madan Mohan, Khayyam and RD Burman also tapped into her versatility and created iconic hits. RD Burman and Bhosle eventually married in 1980. It was the second marriage for the two and was opposed by many. But their partnership remained until Burman’s untimely death in the 1990s.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Also read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/asha-bhosle-dies-at-92-a-look-at-singer-s-musical-love-story-with-rd-burman-in-pics-1775982471995">Asha Bhosle dies at 92: A look at singer's musical love story with RD Burman</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>RD Burman and Asha Bhosle together created music in the 1970s, which was then unheard of in Hindi cinema. Burman was instrumental in bringing Western tunes to Hindi songs. <i>Dum Maaro Dum, Piya Tu Ab To Aaja </i>needed special voice modulations which only Bhosle could bring.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p><p>When Khayyam approached her for <i>Umrao Jaan, </i>the singer was sceptical and hesitant, but, known to take up challenges, she rehearsed and came back to deliver classics like <i>Dil Cheez Kya Hai </i>and <i>Inn Aankhon Ki Masti.</i></p>

<h2>Reinventing in the 1990s</h2><p>Well in her 60s at that time, Bhosle became a household name and connected with the younger generation with her pop albums. She first remixed some of her and RD Burnman’s hit songs, soon after the composer’s demise. The move was criticised by many, including composer Khayyam, who felt it was unnecessary to touch classics. But Asha Bhosle was always synonymous with thinking out of the box. The classics, reloaded and remixed, reached the younger audience and made her popular once again. Around the same time she also collaborated with Leslie Lewis and created songs like Janam Samjha Karo.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Imagine the range- songs like </strong><i><strong>Abhi Na Jaao Chodkar, Mera Kuch Saman, Piya Tu Ab To Aaja</strong></i><strong> and </strong><i><strong>Janam Samjha Karo</strong></i><strong> – all were by the same singer.</strong></p>

<p>At 65, she sang with a new composer like AR Rahman and did playback for a 20-something Urmila Matondkar in Rangeela. The songs, fresh and very western, felt tailor-made for Asha Bhosle’s voice.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Experimenting and living with the times came naturally to her. Asha Bhosle was one of the first Indians to fetch a Grammy nomination. A Guiness Book Of World Record holder for recording the maximum number of songs, Bhosle sang in several languages other than Hindi and found success especially in Bengali films.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>She was a cook whose biryani and Goan fish curry were loved by industry insiders. She had even admitted that had she not been a singer, she would have been a chef.</p>

No other artist could hold such a strong influence with her music across ages the way she did. She defined music across genres and ages and was perhaps the only Indian singer who never shied away from experimenting. She was someone who constantly pushed boundaries.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In the last few years, fans missed seeing her on stage. She did do a concert tour in 2023 in Dubai, but remained away from the public eye in recent years. But she lived through her music and will continue to dominate the playlists of innumerable fans across the world.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>She didn't just sing for films; she provided the soundtrack to the evolution of the modern Indian woman—from the traditional to the rebellious to the modern.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><i>“Abhi na jao chhodke Asha ji, ke dil abhi bhara nahi…”</i></p>

The last of the living legends of Indian cinema, Asha Bhosle, is dead. The iconic singer, whose career spanned over eight decades, and whose songs inspired generations, could easily be called the ‘Chameleon of Indian Music.’ Her music transcended age and borders.

<h2>How did Bhosle fall in love with cooking</h2><p>She has often spoken about how her kitchen skills evolved organically, and how her recipes came from friends, colleagues, and people she met during her travels rather than relying on formal training. "Main momo banati hun… mujhe Mala Sinha ne seekhaya hai," she said, crediting actress Mala Sinha for introducing her to momos.</p><p>She also acknowledged learning Lucknowi cooking from the wife of lyricist Majrooh Sultanpuri.

<p>Hema Malini shared old photos with the late singer and wrote, “Asha Tai no more! I just can’t believe how someone so full of life, she who lent so much vivacity and character to her songs, has left us grieving. It is especially hard for me, as I have an emotional connect with Asha ji—she has made many of my songs so popular with her unique voice and style. I had a very special relationship with both Lata Ji and Asha Ji, who have contributed in no small measure to my rise in the film industry.”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>She also pointed out the tremendous loss for Maharashtra. She added, “It is a huge loss for Maharashtra and for the whole of India that can never be compensated or replaced ever!”</p>
