great voices of music

Mumbai: Two amazing voices like Asha Bhosle and Lata Mangeshkar remained active in the field of Indian music for a long time. The relationship between these two sisters was deep, but they were also often compared. This comparison sometimes became a cause of mental stress for Asha Bhosle.

identity challenge

In the early days, Asha Bhosle’s voice had a lot of similarity with Lata Mangeshkar, which became a big challenge for her. Many times people mistook her voice for that of Lata, due to which it was difficult to identify her.

An incident that changed thinking

Once a person mistook Lata Mangeshkar’s song for Asha Bhosle. This incident forced Asha to think deeply. She realized that if she continued singing like this, she would not have an identity of her own. After this incident, he started fearing that as long as Lata Mangeshkar was active, he would not get work. This fear was so deep that he could not sleep for many nights, but this fear became the reason for a new beginning for him.

beginning to differentiate yourself

Asha Bhosle decided that she would completely change her voice and the way she sang. He started learning different types of music. Along with film songs, he sang pop songs, learned ghazals, sang bhajans and also tried himself in folk music and qawwali. He did not limit himself to only Indian music, but also tried to understand Western music. By watching English films he learned how voice could be used in different ways. This experiment later became his biggest strength.

Due to continuous hard work and new experiments, Asha Bhosle created her own identity. He sang thousands of songs and lent his voice in many languages. This is why he has a big record in his name for recording the maximum number of songs. Asha Bhosle herself admitted that there was a competition between her and Lata Mangeshkar, but it was not negative, but positive. Whenever the two worked together, they always thought of how to add something new to the song.
