Happy Birthday Asha Tai!

Raj&Pablo | 18:02 UK time, Monday, 8 September 2008

Everyone today is hailed as a legend but today we are in a "Dum Maro Dum "celebration mood - one of our ultimate legends - that delectable diva Miss Asha Bhosle turns 75 !

asha.jpgAnd she is still going strong - she's releasing a new album - Precious Platinum - 9 sparkling new songs that tingle. So as we do every year we are having an Asha Night with a few friends, food and tonnes of Asha songs!

Pablo: Asha's voice sends a sizzle down my spine - from her cabaret classics to ghazals - she is the ultimate Divine Diva. Raj used to go on about her and dragged me to a concert - I was hooked. My favourite as all you "Love Bollywood" listeners know is Sharara Sharara - and tonight this is going to be on repeat.

Raj: Don't know what it is about her but she just emanates a prescience that is so ethereal. She's a brilliant cook and made me one of the best masala chai's ever. What I love about her is her utter simplicity and of course her glamour. This lady rocks!" I can't decide which is my favourite - it nearly damn impossible.

And if we can twist some arms we are going to try and get the team to play a lot of her on this weekends show. What are your magic movie moments featuring the Diva? Let us know!!

Love Us, Love Bollywood

Raj&Pablo xx

    Nothing beats "Monicaaaaaaa..... Piya tu ab toh aaja" from Karavan!

    I remember the first Asha Bhosle concert I went to and R D Burman coming in from the back of Wembely Arena somewhere calling out "Monicaaaaaaa"... what a fantastic live rendition of the song!
