Artist Biography

Asha Bhosle

 

Younger sister of diva Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhosle began her playback singing career with the Marathi movie Chala Chala Nav Bala (Majha Bal, 1943). She sang her first Hindi song for the movie Chunariya in 1948.

 

Born on September 8, 1933, Asha Bhosle mostly sang for vamps and secondary characters during the 50s while Lata Mangeshkar, Geeta Dutt and others were offered to sing for the leads. Asha's biggest break came when she sang for CID in 1956, adding magnetism to O P Nayyar's music compositions.

 

She achieved success with the release of B R Chopra's Naya Daur in 1957. Music director Rahul Dev Burman's Teesri Manzil in 1966 brought the dynamic music director-singer couple together for the first time. R D Burman delivered his first hit as a music director exploiting Asha Bhosle's youthful voice. They duo ruled the 1970s as Asha Bhosle lent her voice to the sassy, Helen, apart from other lead actresses.

 

It was, however, her rendition of classical based songs for Umraon Jaan (1981) that won her the much deserved national award for best playback singer. In the 90s, Asha diversified into pop music and R D Burman remixes like Jaanam Samjha Karo.

Lyrics 

Mera Naam Hai Shabnam

 

Pyaar Se Log Mujhe Kehte Hain Sabu

 

Tara Ru Tara Ru Tara Ru.......

 

Ae Pehchana Mile The Kabhie

 

Us Raat Ko ..... Daro Nahi  

 

Baat Hai Wo Raaz Ki

 

Par Raaz Raaz Hi Rahega

 

Mera Naam Hai Shabnam

 

Pyaar Se Log Mujhe Sabu Kehte Hain

 

Tumhara Naam Kya Hai

 

Neena Meena Anju Ya Manju

 

Neena Meena Anju Manju Ya Madhu

 

Us Roz Raat Bhar Sehnai Bajti Rahi

 

Main Thi Tum Thi Aur Wo......

 

Sharmaon Nahi Ghabaro Nahi

 

Kahungi Kisi Se Nahi

 

Jante Ho Mera Naam Hai Shabnam

 

Pyaar Se Log Mujhe Sabu Kehte Hain

 

Tumhara Naam Kya Hai

 

Neena Meena Anju Ya Manju

 

Neena Meena Anju Manju Ya Madhu
