Asha Bhosle Songs That Defined Every Stage of Life, From 90s to Now
In the mid 90s, when “Tanha Tanha” and “Rangeela Re” hit the airwaves, as kids we mimicked Urmila Matondkar’s moves, but it was Asha Bhosle’s voice that gave the song its sass. Who can forget the high-octane energy of “Le Gayi Le Gayi” from Dil To Pagal Hai? It was the quintessential dance-off song at every colony party. These were the kind of songs that made the 90s feel bright, glamorous. We didn’t know Asha Bhosle, we didn’t care about legacy, we understood energy. For us the voice meant fun. It meant colour. It meant life, it had rhythm. Asha Bhosle, then in her 60s, sounded younger and more vibrant than the actresses on screen. That is the thing about Asha Bhosle.
