Asha Bhosle should write a book on how to stay relevent in every decade. From the 60s to now, Bhosle has managed to experiment with her style of singing and became a hit. There are several stories about how Bhosle began her career singing rejected numbers of stalwarts like her own sister Lata Mangeshkar and other. She was typecast to sing for diva-vamp roles, adding her classic touch to all of them. But there were composers who gave her songs like 'Katra katra milti hai'. What an enlightening rendition. It's a classic case of music could mirror your life. Tom Cruise Dines At Asha's, Indian Singer Asha Bhosle's Birmingham Restaurant, Orders For Chicken Tikka Masala (View Pic).
