The singer further added, “They said they wanted Asha Bhosle and Lata Mangeshkar. Didi asked me ‘will you sing at a wedding?’ I said ‘I won’t’ and she then told the rep, ‘We will not sing even if you offer 10 crore dollars, because we do not sing at weddings’. That person was very disappointed.”
Sharing an incident from their childhood, Asha revealed her sister Lata once asked her to wash their parents’ feet and drink the same water. The singer said, “We drank it, and the blessings from that continue to be with us even today.”
Asha Bhosale also shared when Lata Mangeshkar ensured every singer gets their name on the record. This started with the late singer’s song Aayega Aanewala, for which she got her name on the screen along with the song’s royalty.
