Asha Bhosle: Fearless Tomboy to Maturing Woman
4 Jul
Summary
- Asha Bhosle was a fearless, fun-loving tomboy in her childhood.
- She eloped as a teenager and later transformed significantly.
- Her relationship with family improved after her son's birth.
Singer Asha Bhosle's younger sister, Usha Mangeshkar, has shared poignant memories of Bhosle's childhood. Usha described Asha as a fearless, fun-loving tomboy, always active and prone to playful mischief.
This vibrant image contrasted sharply with the young woman Usha later encountered after Asha eloped with Ganpatrao Bhosle as a teenager, around the age of 14 or 15. Usha recalled her surprise at seeing her sister, now a new mother, dressed in a sari with her hair neatly done, speaking with a distinct maturity.
The early estrangement gradually softened, particularly with the birth of Asha's son, Hemant, who brought joy to the family. This event paved the way for reconciliation and a return to more frequent family interactions.
Asha Bhosle's first marriage ended in separation in 1960. She later married music composer R.D. Burman in 1980, remaining together until his passing in 1994. Asha Bhosle passed away on April 12 at the age of 92 due to multiple organ failure.
