RD Burman-Asha Bhosle’s unconventional marriage based on friendship, music

RD Burman and Asha Bhosle were partners in life, and in work. He made the most eclectic music of his time, and she gave vocals to his most unique compositions. RD first saw her as a fan and rushed towards her to get an autograph. She was six years older than him, and he was a fan of her singing, and eventually became a fan of her personality and her presence. They shared a warm friendship for decades and eventually decided to tie the knot in 1979, but theirs was an unconventional marriage, as they never lived together. Asha had first gotten married at the age of 16 to Ganpatrao Bhosle, who was 20 years older than her. Her family was not supportive of this marriage, and after three children, the marriage fell apart. RD Burman, fondly known as Pancham, had also been married previously. He was married to Rita Patel, and just five years later, they went their separate ways. So when Asha and Pancham got married in 1979, they had been through many …

AR Rahman shares glimpse of his last song with Asha Bhosle: ‘Soundtrack of countless lives’ | Bollywood News

3 min readHyderabadJun 21, 2026 04:43 PM IST A glimpse of a new song bringing together AR Rahman and Asha Bhosle was unveiled on the occasion of World Music Day today. The track was recorded before Bhosle’s death in April 2026, making it one of the final recordings of a career that spanned more than eight decades. The song features vocals from both Rahman and Bhosle, with additional musicians drawn from Trinity Laban, the London based conservatoire where the composer has served as Honorary President since 2024. Rather than being framed as a farewell, the song has been positioned as a celebration of Asha Bhosle’s contribution to Indian cinema and to music more broadly, a way of marking a body of work rather than closing it. That framing fits with how AR Rahman has spoken about the project, describing it as something conceived while Bhosle was still alive, born out of a wish to honour her rather than mourn her.

Have you heard? Sanjay Dutt’s daughter Trishala on joinging Bollywood

Papa, meri jaan Trishala Dutt once toyed with the idea of joining Bollywood, but not for the spotlight. Speaking on the Inside Thoughts Out Loud Podcast, she admitted it stemmed from a far more personal place: wanting to be closer to her father, Sanjay Dutt. “I did think about that when I was younger. I just wanted to be closer to my dad,” she said, recalling a phase where proximity mattered more than passion. Her father, however, offered a reality check wrapped in experience. “He’s been through hell and back. ‘Is this your calling?’” That question clearly stuck. Instead of chasing films, Trishala chose a different script — one rooted in mental health, carving out her own identity far from the shadow of cinema.
