Asha Bhosle reveals how she became a versatile singer
Now, ahead of her program, in an interview with the ETimes, Asha Bhosle sat for a conversation to reveal anecdotes from her singing journey. Asha mentioned that it was only when she started listening to English songs that she understood various things about the technicality of singing. Asha revealed:
“After songs like Eena Meena Deeka and other such numbers, people began saying I can sing all kinds of songs. They would say she sings a Madan Mohan track as well as a Shankar Jaikishen number and songs of completely different styles like SD Burman and RD Burman. When I was staying in Kolhapur, I would listen to a lot of English songs because of that, I would understand things like vibrating my voice or hitting the straight notes.”
