Anand Bhosle reacts
The legendary singer`s son, Anand Bhosle, has now reacted to the news by quashing the reports. He quashed all reports by telling ETimes, “It`s untrue.” Interestingly, Asha Bhosle was recently seen honouring her late husband, legendary music composer Rahul Dev Burman, on the occasion of his 85th birth anniversary. Similarly, on June 27, the singer paid tribute by offering heartfelt respect to his harmonium, along with an array of awards and medals displayed around his photograph.
Talking about her late husband, Asha had said, “His music was his inspiration. He used to do something new with it. He would tell me to do something different, like change my voice. And he has given me a lot of inspiration. I have learnt a lot from him. He used to help me with those songs,” she had said.
Additionally, she was also seen attending the screening of Rekha`s 1981 film Umrao Jaan`s theatrical re-release. In a video that went viral from the screening, she even performed the film`s song, Dil Cheez Kya Hai, as she was joined on stage by Muzaffar and Rekha.
