The RD Burman-Asha Love Story: Bollywood’s Greatest Musical Romance<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\nNo Ice Cream Or Pani Puri Since The Age Of 13<\/h2>\n
In a report published by DNA, Asha Bhosle shared this revelation during the Leadership Lecture Series in Dubai. She reflected on how music gradually became her life\u2019s purpose and how early discipline shaped her journey as a singer.<\/p>\n
The singer shared that she has not eaten ice cream or pani puri since she was just 13 years old. Speaking about her early journey and dedication to music, she explained how her profession demanded strict care for her voice and health.<\/p>\n
She said, “Music was always important to me, but in 1947, when I started singing for Hindi movies, was when I realized that this is my work, this is my life. Earlier, before marriage, I used to think, \u2018I won\u2019t sing, I will eat ice-cream\u2019, but it was God\u2019s wish that he gave me singing as a gift and till now I am singing. I used to think at times that after singing, \u2018I will have lots of ice cream, imli or pani puri\u2019, but to date, I haven\u2019t eaten either. They are bad for my throat, so after I left them at the age of 13, I haven\u2019t had them.”<\/p>\n
Her Dream Casting For Biopic<\/h2>\n
In a 2018 interview with Bombay Times, Asha Bhosle was asked who she believed could portray her life on screen if a biopic were ever made. Her response was both thoughtful and modest.<\/p>\n
She named Priyanka Chopra Jonas as her first choice, adding that Kangana Ranaut would also be a strong contender. However, she lightly dismissed the idea of a biopic altogether, suggesting that her life story might never actually make it to the big screen.<\/p>\n
Asha Bhosle said, \u201cI think Priyanka Chopra Jonas would be perfect to play me onscreen. Kangana Ranaut is also a very good actor. I feel she can be a great choice, too.\u201d She further added, \u201cHaving said this, I don\u2019t think a film based on my life will ever be made\u201d<\/p>\n
Asha Bhosle has often spoken about how music became her life\u2019s calling after she began singing for Hindi films in the late 1940s. Over time, her dedication transformed into a disciplined routine where vocal health remained a priority above all else.<\/p>\n
Her journey stands as a reminder that behind every timeless voice lies years of sacrifice, focus, and unwavering commitment. And perhaps that is what continues to make her one of the most respected voices in Indian music history.<\/p>\n
