Summary
- Sonu Nigam massaged Asha Bhosle's painful heel spur during a 1996 tour.
- Asha Bhosle frequently recalled Nigam's kind gesture years later.
- Nigam and Bhosle first performed together in early 1996 in Mumbai.
Sonu Nigam recently reminisced about a deeply personal moment with the late legendary singer Asha Bhosle, who passed away on April 12, 2026, at the age of 92. During their 1996 tour in the USA, Bhosle suffered from a severely painful heel spur.
Nigam, familiar with the condition from his mother's experience, offered to treat Bhosle's discomfort. He massaged her feet, providing significant relief that allowed her to perform more comfortably. This act of kindness was so meaningful to Bhosle that she frequently recalled it in conversations with Nigam for years afterward.
Their professional association began in early 1996 when Bhosle invited Nigam to sing her song 'Jhoothe Naina Bole' with her at a Mumbai wedding, despite having a sore throat. They later toured America together in June 1996, forging memories that left a lasting impression on Nigam.
Following Bhosle's demise, Nigam posted a heartfelt tribute on Instagram, sharing photos and expressing his profound grief and respect for the iconic singer.
