A few years back, Bhosle featured on Couple of Things, hosted by Amrita and Anmol, where she revealed her last wish. She said in Hindi, “Meri khud ki iccha aisi hai ki gaate gaate hi main chali jau. Yehi meri iccha hai. Abhi mujhe seekhne ka kuch nahi hai. Gaana meri life hai. Bachpan se gaya hai. 3 saal se classical, Baba ka sikhaya. Puri life usmein chali gayi hai. Film line mein 82 years ho gaye hai. Abhi jake yeh iccha hai ki gaate gaate mera dam nikle. Mujhe sabse zyada khushi hogi ki main gaate gaati jau.”(Translation: My only wish is to die singing. That’s my last wish. I don’t have anything left to learn. Singing is my life. I have been doing that since the age of 3 with my father. I spent my entire life doing that. It’s been 82 years in the film industry. Now, all I want is to die singing. I will be the happiest if I keep singing through my last days.)
