Asha Bhosle

Every concert of mine is different in terms of song selection. ”

I always like to do something different in every song. ”

I have sung in over 20 different languages and enjoyed it. I have even sung in foreign languages like Spanish and Russian. ”

I have always been rebellious, but that is because I've wanted to do different things, try out new things. ”

I don't run after money or fame. The only thing I have always wished is to be a classical singer. ”

I hate a sleepy, nonresponsive, and silent audience because it fails to excite me as a performer. ”

In the studio, you can redo things. In concert, you only have one shot at it, so you have to try to be as perfect as possible. ”

I was too naive when I started out. It was hard to understand the workings of the industry. But rejection and ridicule pushed me to discover my individuality. I wanted success on my terms. ”

Initially, when I got into the world of music, I was treated like an underdog. ”

Acting is in my genes, since my father late Pandit Dinanath Mangeshkar was an actor. ”
