Asha was born in a family associated with the music industry.

Following the footsteps of her elder sister Lata Mangeshkar, she also came into the world of music. Both the sisters started singing in films to run the family. Asha Bhosle first sang the song ‘Chala Chala Naav Wala’ in the Marathi film ‘Majha Bal’ (1943). While his first song in Bollywood was ‘Sawan Aaya’ in the film ‘Chunariya (1948)’. The journey of music and songs that started from here continued for more than five decades and Asha Bhosle soon became one of the stalwarts of Indian music.

Made his mark among legendary singers, also tried his hand in acting

From the late 1940s to the early 1950s, Asha Bhosle also began to make her mark among leading singers like Geeta Dutt, Shamshad Begum and Lata Mangeshkar. In the 1950s, Asha Bhosle sang more songs than most playback singers in Hindi films. Most of these were in low-budget films. His early songs were composed by A. R. Qureshi, Sajjad Hussain, S. Mohinder, Sardar Malik, Ghulam Mohammad and some other musicians. Asha Bhosle gained recognition by lending her voice to the songs of the film ‘Sangdil’ (1952) composed with the music of Sajjad Hussain. In the same year, she played the lead role in the film ‘Cham Chama Chama’ directed by OP Nayyar and also sang 10 out of 11 songs in the film. After this Bimal Roy gave him a chance to sing in Parineeta (1953). Raj Kapoor signed her to sing all the songs in the film Boot Polish (1954), which gave her popularity.

Married to sister Lata Mangeshkar’s secretary at the age of 16

Asha Bhosle’s career had just started when at the age of 16, she married sister Lata Mangeshkar’s secretary Ganpat Rao Bhosle. Ganpat Rao was about 20 years older than Asha. This relationship was not accepted by Lata Mangeshkar and her family. Because of this, there was distance in the relationship between Asha and Lata Mangeshkar, which remained for a long time. But Asha Bhosle went against her sister and family and chose her love. In an old interview, Asha Bhosle had said about her marriage, ‘The husband’s family was conservative, it could not accept a singing star. When I was about to give birth to my younger son Anand, the family asked me to return to my maternal home. However, the marriage of Asha Bhosle and Ganpat Rao could not last long. Both separated after 11 years. Asha Bhosle had three children from Ganpat Rao.

Second marriage with RD Burman, six years younger to him

After separation from Ganpat Rao and breakdown of her first marriage, love blossomed again in Asha Bhosle’s life. This time he found his love in veteran musician RD Burman (Pancham Da). However, this love story of Asha was also not easy, because RD Burman was about six years younger than her. That is why when 47 year old Asha Bhosle proposed marrying RD Burman, Pancham Da’s mother did not agree to it. When Pancham Da told his mother about his marriage with Asha, she clearly said that ‘this marriage will take place on my dead body.’ The reason for the protest was that Asha Bhosle was 6 years older than RD Burman and was the mother of three children. However, later both of them got married in 1980 and the couple gifted many memorable songs to the music world. The marriage of both of them lasted till RD Burman said goodbye to this world in 1994.
