Zanai Bhosle Joins AR Rahman On Global Stage, Carrying Forward Grandmother Asha Bhosle’s Legacy

Legendary singer Asha Bhosle’s granddaughter Zanai Bhosle joins hands with music maestro AR. Rahman for the global stage. This collaboration has proved that music often bridges generations, and a 23-year-old singer is living proof. Zanai has teamed up with Rahman for his The Wonderment Tour across the US. The young artist is elated to be a part of the music tour, calling it a dream come true to share the stage with one of India’s greatest musical legends.

This collaboration takes place nearly 30 years after her grandmother, Asha Bhosle, teamed with Rahman on the iconic Rangeela (1995) album. Zanai’s confidence is boosted by both legendary singers of the Indian music industry. She was left speechless when the opportunity came her way, yet she felt the weight of carrying Asha Bhosle’s remarkable legacy.

Speaking about her collaboration with AR Rahman, Zanai Bhosle said, “The moment I heard about the opportunity to work with Rahman sir, I was speechless. But I also felt the weight of responsibility — his compositions are masterpieces, and my grandmother has sung them with unmatched perfection. I didn’t want to fall short,” Zanai says. The encouragement she received from both Rahman and her grandmother gave her the confidence she needed. “They told me to sing in my own style.”
