We’ve lost Asha, but not hope
For some reason, the news of the passing away of Asha Bhosle hit me much harder than the news of the death of her sister, the Melody Queen Lata Mangeshkar a few years ago.
For some reason, the news of the passing away of Asha Bhosle hit me much harder than the news of the death of her sister, the Melody Queen Lata Mangeshkar a few years ago.
India mourns as Asha Bhosle’s legacy returns to the spotlight, reviving memories of a voice that dared to experiment and redefine Bollywood music. Her journey is now remembered alongside Lata Mangeshkar’s timeless purity.
It is said in the Hindi film industry—and not wrongly—that Lata Mangeshkar could make or break a shooting schedule.
I vividly recall receiving a call many years ago from a musician friend who, after seeing a WhatsApp message, wanted to confirm whether the legendary singer Lata Mangeshkar had passed away.
There is no stopping singer Usha Uthup. She has been crooning for nearly 60 years and shows no signs of stopping.
Mangeshkar was known to tie Rakhi on Dilip Kumar's wrist every year.
Raam Laxman had composed music for some of the biggest films by Rajshri Productions such as "Maine Pyar Kiya" (1989), "Hum Aapke Hain Koun" (1994) and "Hum Saath Saath Hain" (1999).
With this, the 91-year-old Dadasaheb Phalke awardee has joined the long list of celebrities and lawmakers from India in support of the government's stand on the ongoing farmers' protests.
A.R.Rahman wrote,"The sweetest teacher of all... May the Ghafoor-ur-Rahim give you a special place in the next world #UstadGhulamMustafa."
Melody queen Lata Mangeshkar on Sunday tweeted a photo of Ghulam Mustafa Khan and expressed grief over his demise. She said he was not only a great singer but also a great human being.
