Chaitanya Bhosle reveals Asha Bhosle was up for learning new things even at 92
Mumbai, April 24
Legendary singer Asha Bhosle's grandson Chaitanya Bhosle shared that even at the age of 92, his grandmother would always be up for learning new things.
During an exclusive interaction with IANS, Chaitanya shared that she was never "stuck that this is wrong and that is right".
He added that she was always inquisitive about life and open to learning new things.
"Ohh this also happens. Why does this happen? We can do this another way as well. Please tell me how," the singer would say.
Chaitanya added that after being convinced, she would even change her point of view when the need be.
He admitted that he would often be inspired by his grandmother's ability to adapt even at this age.
"If at 92 she could keep changing perspective", she shared.
Giving an example, Chaitanya revealed how Asha Bhosle reacted to the use of AI in music.
He shared that while most singers would be like, "Rubbish, we should not use this," she was not like that. He added that she would try to understand new technology.
"AI has come. Wow, interesting," used to be her approach.
He shared that when they used to make her listen to songs by some late singer using AI, she would be extremely interested.
Asha Bhosle left for the heavenly abode on April 12 at the age of 92. She passed away after facing multi-organ failure.
She was admitted to the Breach Candy hospital in Mumbai on April 11 after suffering severe exhaustion and chest infection, as informed by her granddaughter Zanai Bhosle via a social media post.
She has left a huge void in the music industry, leaving a glorious legacy behind.
Asha Bhosle has around 12,000 songs to her credit in multiple languages.

It's inspiring how she embraced AI at 92. Most people her age are scared of technology, but here she was curious about it. What a beautiful mindset.
Asha ji's humility and willingness to learn is something we need to teach our children. She wasn't just a singer, she was a lifelong student. This article made me emotional. 💔
While I admire her open-mindedness, I do wonder about the ethics of using AI to recreate a late singer's voice. Still, her curiosity is commendable.
12,000 songs in multiple languages! And she was still ready to learn at 92. Pure gold. The music industry has indeed lost a gem. 🎤
My grandmother is 78 and she refuses to even touch a smartphone. Asha ji was truly ahead of her time. The ability to change perspective at that age is remarkable. May her soul rest in peace.
Asha Bhosle's legacy isn't just about music, it's about how to live life with curiosity and grace. Reading this makes me want to be more open-minded. She will be missed. 🙏
