<p>Asha Bhosle spread joy and love with her music and charm. Her life in music brought her fame that transcended borders. However, the singer battled deep personal losses in her life, away from the limelight.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Bhosle, who had eloped at the age of 16 with a much older Ganpatrao Bhosle, had three children. She walked out of her marriage when she was 27, with two young children and one on the way. For the greater part of her life, Asha Bhosle was a single mother, who worked hard to provide for her family.&nbsp;</p><h2>More about Asha Bhosle's children</h2><p>Asha Bhosle had three children-Hemant, Varsha, and Anand. Her eldest son Hemant Bhosle was a music composer and composed songs for films such as Dharam Shatru, Sansani: The Sensation, and Rchildren: Hemantaja Jogi. He is also known for the famous Kishore Kumar-Asha Bhosle duet ‘Aji Kaho Kya Haal Hai’ from Anpadh. Hemant’s son Chintu Bhosle is now a singer and composer and also part of India’s first boy band Band Of Boys.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Asha Bhosle’s daughter Varsha Bhosle was a firebrand columnist known for her work in Reddit and other publications. Her youngest son, Anand Bhosle took charge of managing his mother's professional commitments.</p><h2>Asha Bhosle’s personal losses</h2><p>While fame and recognition came with success, Asha Bhosle endured the pain of losing two of her children. Varsha died by suicide in 2012 at the age of 56.&nbsp;</p><p>A few years later, in 2015, Hemant died after battling cancer.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The two tragedies completely shook Bhosle. She had already dealt with domestic abuse early in her life after she had married Ganpatrao Bhosle.&nbsp;</p><h2>Varsha’s death had left Asha Bhosle devastated</h2><p>Vasha Bhosle was a well-known columnist. In 2012, when she died by suicide, her mother, Asha Bhosle, was in Singapore.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Recalling the moment she learnt about the tragedy, Asha had told Mumbai Mirror, “I was in Singapore when it happened. They wanted to keep me in the dark about it. But my son Anand thought it was better if I knew. When I was told, I just fell to the ground. I wanted to return by the first available flight. Didi (Lata Mangeshkar) has taken this very badly. She just can’t stop crying. I wish she hadn’t been told about it. Didi is mostly in her room, so she needn’t have known. But when it happened, the place was swarming with activity. So it couldn’t have been avoided.”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/remembering-asha-bhosle-when-the-padma-vibhushan-awardee-revealed-her-last-wish-now-all-i-want-is-1776073466539"><strong>Remembering Asha Bhosle: When the Padma Vibhushan awardee revealed her last wish</strong></a></p><h2>How her brother Hridyanath Mangeshkar helped her cope with the loss</h2><p>In 2013, while promoting Mai, a film in which she made her acting debut, Asha Bhosle opened up about how she coped with the loss.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>She said, “My daughter, whatever she had to do, she did. She chose her own path. She chose it, but she didn’t realise what would happen to those she left behind—especially her mother. But there are some things we can never undo.”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>She described how that loss completely shattered her and it was her brother, music composer Hridaynath Mangeshkar, who gently guided her back towards music.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>“It was my brother who brought me back. I was completely shattered. From that night on, I stopped meeting people, stopped talking, didn’t even pick up calls—nothing mattered anymore.”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>“My brother came and placed the tanpura in my hands. He told me to start singing. He is younger than me, but he is like a guru to me. He said, ‘Remember Pandit Dinanath Mangeshkar. Begin with ‘Sa’, begin with ‘Om’. I started singing. After about five minutes, slowly, something began to open within me—as if a path was clearing. After that, I could hear nothing except ‘Sa’. My voice, my note—was it in tune or not, how long it was sustaining, which raga I was moving into, what I should sing next. Once I entered that space, nothing else in the world existed before me. Nothing. There was only music.”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/asha-bhosle-funeral-millions-mourn-as-the-legendary-singer-is-laid-to-rest-with-state-honours-1776081465608"><strong>Asha Bhosle Funeral: Millions mourn as the legendary singer is laid to rest</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Her brother then gave her a perspective that stayed with her for life. He said that they were a ‘curse’ of the God.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>“He told me, ‘We are like Gandharvas in the court of God. Sometimes, God curses them and sends them to earth. They become great artists, they sing beautifully—but they are never truly happy. They are cursed. Your duty is to carry what has been given to you. From the age of six or eight, you have been learning music, and even today you are singing. You are one of those cursed Gandharvas. So you will have to endure sorrow. That sorrow will never fully go away.’”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>“‘But there is one way to move through it—sing. Keep singing. The pain will remain, you will not forget it, but you will find a way to hold yourself together.’”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>“Then he said something that stayed with me: ‘Happiness is meant to be shared with the world, but sorrow is meant to be kept within. Hold it inside your heart. Never speak of it openly. Because no one cries with someone who is always crying—people laugh with those who laugh. Who will mourn every day for someone who dies every day inside? So never display your sorrow.’”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/remembering-asha-bhosle-the-queen-of-versatility-who-defined-80-years-of-indian-cinema-1775989256531"><strong>Remembering Asha Bhosle: The queen of versatility who defined 80 years of Indian cinema</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Bhosle said, the words stuck with her and became a guiding force for her. “His words stayed with me deeply, as if he had given me a mantra. Since then, whenever I get time, I practice singing.”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In later years, she faced another loss as her firstborn, Hemant Bhosle, died of cancer in 2015. But the veteran singer continued with her music and travelled to perform at concerts.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>On Monday, Asha Bhosle’s youngest son, Anand Bhosle, performed her last rites and members of her family and peers from the industry bid an emotional farewell to the legend.</p>

Asha Bhosle spread cheer and warmth with her soulful music. But behind the fame and recognition, the singer quietly dealt with the loss of her two children. Asha in an old interview recalled how her brother's advice helped her cope with grief.

More about Asha Bhosle's children Asha Bhosle had three children-Hemant, Varsha, and Anand. Her eldest son Hemant Bhosle was a music composer and composed songs for films such as Dharam Shatru, Sansani: The Sensation, and Rchildren: Hemantaja Jogi. He is also known for the famous Kishore Kumar-Asha Bhosle duet ‘Aji Kaho Kya Haal Hai’ from Anpadh. Hemant’s son Chintu Bhosle is now a singer and composer and also part of India’s first boy band Band Of Boys. Asha Bhosle’s daughter Varsha Bhosle was a firebrand columnist known for her work in Reddit and other publications. Her youngest son, Anand Bhosle took charge of managing his mother's professional commitments. Asha Bhosle’s personal losses While fame and recognition came with success, Asha Bhosle endured the pain of losing two of her children. Varsha died by suicide in 2012 at the age of 56. A few years later, in 2015, Hemant died after battling cancer. The two tragedies completely shook Bhosle. She had already dealt with domestic abuse early in her life after she had married Ganpatrao Bhosle. Varsha’s death had left Asha Bhosle devastated Vasha Bhosle was a well-known columnist. In 2012, when she died by suicide, her mother, Asha Bhosle, was in Singapore. Recalling the moment she learnt about the tragedy, Asha had told Mumbai Mirror, “I was in Singapore when it happened. They wanted to keep me in the dark about it. But my son Anand thought it was better if I knew. When I was told, I just fell to the ground. I wanted to return by the first available flight. Didi (Lata Mangeshkar) has taken this very badly. She just can’t stop crying. I wish she hadn’t been told about it. Didi is mostly in her room, so she needn’t have known. But when it happened, the place was swarming with activity. So it couldn’t have been avoided.” Also read: Remembering Asha Bhosle: When the Padma Vibhushan awardee revealed her last wish How her brother Hridyanath Mangeshkar helped her cope with the loss In 2013, while promoting Mai, a film in which she made her acting debut, Asha Bhosle opened up about how she coped with the loss. She said, “My daughter, whatever she had to do, she did. She chose her own path. She chose it, but she didn’t realise what would happen to those she left behind—especially her mother. But there are some things we can never undo.” She described how that loss completely shattered her and it was her brother, music composer Hridaynath Mangeshkar, who gently guided her back towards music. “It was my brother who brought me back. I was completely shattered. From that night on, I stopped meeting people, stopped talking, didn’t even pick up calls—nothing mattered anymore.” “My brother came and placed the tanpura in my hands. He told me to start singing. He is younger than me, but he is like a guru to me. He said, ‘Remember Pandit Dinanath Mangeshkar. Begin with ‘Sa’, begin with ‘Om’. I started singing. After about five minutes, slowly, something began to open within me—as if a path was clearing. After that, I could hear nothing except ‘Sa’. My voice, my note—was it in tune or not, how long it was sustaining, which raga I was moving into, what I should sing next. Once I entered that space, nothing else in the world existed before me. Nothing. There was only music.” Also read: Asha Bhosle Funeral: Millions mourn as the legendary singer is laid to rest Her brother then gave her a perspective that stayed with her for life. He said that they were a ‘curse’ of the God. “He told me, ‘We are like Gandharvas in the court of God. Sometimes, God curses them and sends them to earth. They become great artists, they sing beautifully—but they are never truly happy. They are cursed. Your duty is to carry what has been given to you. From the age of six or eight, you have been learning music, and even today you are singing. You are one of those cursed Gandharvas. So you will have to endure sorrow. That sorrow will never fully go away.’” “‘But there is one way to move through it—sing. Keep singing. The pain will remain, you will not forget it, but you will find a way to hold yourself together.’” “Then he said something that stayed with me: ‘Happiness is meant to be shared with the world, but sorrow is meant to be kept within. Hold it inside your heart. Never speak of it openly. Because no one cries with someone who is always crying—people laugh with those who laugh. Who will mourn every day for someone who dies every day inside? So never display your sorrow.’” Also read: Remembering Asha Bhosle: The queen of versatility who defined 80 years of Indian cinema Bhosle said, the words stuck with her and became a guiding force for her. “His words stayed with me deeply, as if he had given me a mantra. Since then, whenever I get time, I practice singing.” In later years, she faced another loss as her firstborn, Hemant Bhosle, died of cancer in 2015. But the veteran singer continued with her music and travelled to perform at concerts. On Monday, Asha Bhosle’s youngest son, Anand Bhosle, performed her last rites and members of her family and peers from the industry bid an emotional farewell to the legend.

<p>Veteran singer Asha Bhosle has left behind a legacy of music which is still played today in every house. Her legendary collaborations with OP Nayyar and RD Burman have shaped her career in the music industry. Let's take a look at the tracks created with the iconic composers.&nbsp;</p>

Two composers, one iconic voice: Asha Bhosle, RD Burman and OP Nayyar

<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. 

Everyone who loves Hindi film music has a favourite Asha Bhosle song. For a classical music lover, there is a Piya Baawari from Khubsurat, for those who love ghazals, there are songs like Inn Aankhon Ki Masti and Dil Cheez Kya Hai, for the 90s kids, her pop songs Janam Samjha Karo and Rangeela Re are instant recalls. Bhosle’s work connected with one and all, transcending age, genre and languages. 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. Early beginnings and breaking out of the looming shadow of Lata Mangeshkar 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. 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. 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 O Haseena Zulfon Wali and Piya Tu, were sung by Bhosle. Also read: Asha Bhosle iconic collaboration with sister Lata Mangeshkar 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. The Other Mangeshkar 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. The architects of her songs 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 Mangu and in the next two decades created songs like Aaiye Meharbaan picturised on Madhubala (Howrah Bridge, 1958) and Yeh Hai Reshmi Zulfon Ka Andhera, (Mere Sanam, 1965). They also recorded songs for many hit movies like Tumsa Nahin Dekha (1957), Ek Musafir Ek Hasina (1962) and Kashmir Ki Kali (1964).

Remembering Asha Bhosle: Beyond music, singer's cooking was equally celebrated across Bollywood

<p>Inheriting their father Pandith Deebanath Mangeshkar's musical legacy, the two sisters, Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhosle, had dominated the Indian music industry over decades, shaping the soundtrack of Indian cinema with their distinct voices and immense contributions.
