Cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar and renowned singer Asha Bhosle, long-time mutual admirers and close friends, continue to share their warm camaraderie. Sachin shares a deep bond with both Asha Bhosle and her sister Lata Mangeshkar, considering them his greatest admirers, and he holds them in the highest regard. He frequently expresses that Asha Bhosle serves as his primary source of inspiration. On the occasion of Asha’s 90th birthday, Sachin took to social media to express his heartfelt wishes.
In a touching gesture, Sachin shared a photograph featuring himself and his wife, Anjali Tendulkar, alongside the legendary singer Asha Bhosle. In the picture, Sachin sports a dark blue shirt while Anjali opts for a pink one. Asha Bhosle, the evergreen melody queen, appears in a graceful light blue sari, adorned with her signature red bindi and a pearl necklace. She sits between the Tendulkar couple, holding their hands, while Sachin and Anjali bend slightly to pose with warm smiles.
Sachin’s caption carried a musical twist, “Dear Asha Tai, your voice has stolen our hearts for so many years, just like the classic ‘Chura Liya Hai.’ But in your presence, ‘Dil Cheez Kya Hai.’ We’ve even heard ‘Gun Guna Rahe Hain Bhanware’ to your tunes. Having you in our lives through your music is truly precious! Happy 90th birthday Tai! @ashabhosle”
In his message, Sachin references four iconic songs associated with Asha Bhosle’s remarkable career. Firstly, “Chura Liya Hai Tumne Jo Dil Ko” from the 1977 musical “Hum Kisise Kum Naheen.” Secondly, “Dil Cheez Kya Hai” from the 1981 period film “Umrao Jaan.” Thirdly, “Gun Guna Rahe Hain Bhanvare” from the 1969 romantic film “Aradhana.” And lastly, “O Mere Sona Re Sona” from the 1966 musical thriller “Teesri Manzil.” These songs not only showcase Asha’s incredible versatility but also underline her enduring presence in the world of music.
