News India Live, Digital Desk: An old controversy between Mohammad Rafi and Asha Bhosle, the world’s two biggest names, has once again come into the limelight. This time this fire has been given to a recent statement by Asha Bhosle, which has been badly enraged by Mohammad Rafi’s son Shahid Rafi. He has not only accused Asha Bhosle of making false claims, but has even said that “he should be a little ashamed at this age.”
What did Asha Bhosle say?
The entire controversy is related to the issue of royalty, which took place between Mohammad Rafi and Lata Mangeshkar years ago. In an interview recently, Asha Bhosle claimed that after a dispute over royalty, Mohammad Rafi Saheb had written a letter to Lata Mangeshkar and apologized. He said that Rafi Saheb wrote in his letter that “I want you to sing with me. I made a mistake.”
“How can anyone hear against his father?” – Shahid Rafi
This claim of Asha Bhosle caused Shahid Rafi’s anger. He retaliated in an interview, saying, “This is a sheer nonsense. If he has said so, he should be a little ashamed at this age. My father has died 44 years and now what do all these things mean?”
Shahid said very emotional and said, “How can any person tolerate such things against his father? He (Asha Bhosle) is a very big singer, I respect her. But he should not say such things. My father never apologized to anyone. He was a very big hearted person, but he also had self -respect.”
What was the whole controversy of royalty?
The case is from the 60s, when Lata Mangeshkar raised the demand for the singers in the royalty of the song. He said that as long as the song is sold, the singer should get his share. But Mohammad Rafi believed that when the singer received his fees for a song, he should have no right to him. The differences between the two had increased so much that both of them had stopped singing with each other for a few years.
Shahid Rafi made it clear that his father was not one of the apologies. If he did not think of anything right, he used to stay adamant on it. Shahid’s statement has once again alive the decades -old controversy and has sparked a new debate in the music world.
