c directors to do it for them. Otherwise 'Didi' is great.
Alex Fernandes : Ustad Ali Akbar Khan has selected you specially to learn and perform rare historical compositions from the roots of his Seni gharana. Why ?
Asha : Firstly, I feel very proud about this top honour and I appreciate it and would like to encourage all upcoming singers in India and abroad not to lose hope but to display their talents whether they are appreciated or rejected as there is always a successful route one can comprehend with hard work and true dedication.
Alex Fernandes : You are the only Indian singer in the world who can gear a 100,000 strong audience with a single foot tappin ? How do you accept this compliment ?
Asha : Success to me means a lot and I sincerely appreciate the likin and the fame my fans have given me in five decades. I feel on cloud nine for this compliment. This really shows how a person cares for another, not only by music but also by love and passion. As for me pulling a crowd, it is due to hard work and true dedication. This really proves where I stand today.
Alex Fernandes : You have been in the musical field for quite a long time. Did'nt you feel the need to get your children into the same profession ?
Asha : I never felt the need. In fact, I have dicouraged them from entering this field as it can bring the limelight for a short while and it all depends on sheer luck. Once you are a failure, people will speak ill about you. So in order to eliminate all these complexities in life, I have not supported them on this issue.
Alex Fernandes : Your son Hemant Bhonsle composed music for some films in the past. Then all of a sudden it was a vanishing act. What really happened ?
