News India Live, Digital Desk: Whenever there is talk of tunes in the Indian music world, the names of the Mangeshkar sisters – Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhosle come to the top. There have often been various discussions about the relationship between these two sisters, who have mesmerized the world with their voices for decades. This question often arose in people’s minds whether there was any rift between the two veteran singers? Now Asha Bhosle herself has put an end to all these speculations and said something about her ‘Healthy Competition’ with Lata Didi, which is becoming increasingly viral on social media.
When two voices collided on the same stage
Referring to an old interview, Asha Bhosle admitted that there was competition between her and Lata didi, but it was not bitter but rather an inspiration to do better than each other. He told that he had to work hard to establish his foothold in the world of music, because Lata Didi was already an established name. According to Asha Tai, “When you have a great singer like Lata Mangeshkar standing in front of you, you have to go beyond your limits to prove yourself.” It was this competition that gave many evergreen songs to Indian cinema.
Lata Didi’s discipline and Asha’s versatile voice
There was a discussion in the music circles that while Lata ji was liked for serious and classical based songs, Asha Bhosle made her mark with ‘Cabaret’ and ‘Chulbule’ songs. Asha ji told that she deliberately kept her singing style different so that she is not compared with Didi. He said that Lata didi was like his guru and competing with her was like showing a lamp to the sun. However, the tussle between filmmakers and music directors over who to choose between the two had inadvertently given rise to a healthy competition.
The string of relationships and those last moments
Dismissing all the rumours, Asha Bhosle emotionally told that behind the screen they were just two sisters. Even though people considered her a rival on the work front, Lata didi always performed the duty of elder sister at home. Asha ji clarified that there was never any personal enmity between them, rather they both celebrated each other’s success. Today, after the demise of Lata Didi, Asha Tai often gets emotional remembering her and says that it was competition that made her a better artist.
