What is the story about?
Zeenat Aman, the veteran actress whose Instagram account has been described as the best in the business, paid a moving tribute to late and legendary singer Asha Bhosle. The collaborations between the two forces led to some of the most iconic melodies of Hindi cinema that stood the test of time. They were pure and straight for posterity.
This is how Aman remembered the legend who will never be forgotten- "Asha ji’s was a voice that captivated generations, and it was my supreme privilege that she sang so many of the film songs picturised on me. ‘Dum Maro Dum’, ‘Chura Liya’, ‘Do Lafzon Ki’, ‘Meri Soni Meri Tamanna’, ‘Khatouba’… the list goes on. One could perhaps say, Asha ji gifted me the soundtrack to my success! How very many hours I have spent with her voice in my ears and how much love I have received for lip-syncing along…"
The veteran actress added, "My own association with Asha ji was long and warmly cordial. While she was always very affectionate when we met, I truly got an insight to her character about a decade ago. We were both due to appear at a musical evening in Kolkata, and when Ashaji arrived I was horrified to see that she was covered in bruises and nicks."
She concluded the note by saying, "It turned out that she had been in an accident the previous day, but was determined to keep her professional commitment! Lo and behold, she took the stage by storm and kept the giddy audience in her thrall for many hours. Mind you, Asha ji was well into her 80s by this point, and it’s safe to say I left the event both impressed and inspired."

Do lafzon was the first song I heard after she passed and I thought of your legendary association and pairings with her.
She gave you her best and was instrumental in making you iconic. There’s sadness in knowing she’s gone but solace in knowing she’ll live on through her songs. I’m such a fan that I thank you for this piece of trivia on her.
Was waiting for this post to hear your stories with her personally.
The combination of both of you will forever be lethal and iconic
