Kamal Haasan shares unseen pics with Asha Bhosle from 'Chachi 420' sets
Chennai, April 12
As a tribute to legendary singer Asha Bhosle, actor-turned-politician Kamal Haasan took a stroll down memory lane and shared several unseen pictures with India's melody queen from the shoot of his iconic film 'Chachi 420'.
He shared a video compilation of photographs featuring Asha Bhosle and himself, including stills of his character from Chachi 420 (1997). Kamal added the song "," composed by Vishal Bhardwaj for the film's soundtrack, in collaboration with Asha Bhosle.
"Sthaayi gaayika sakhi jaago," he captioned the post.
Born in 1933, Asha Bhosle began her musical journey at a young age and rose to prominence in the 1950s
Over her career spanning decades, she recorded thousands of songs across multiple Indian languages, ranging from classical and ghazals to cabaret, pop, and folk. Her work with leading composers and filmmakers made her one of the most influential voices in Indian cinema.
She was honoured with awards, including the Dadasaheb Phalke Award and the Padma Vibhushan, and was recognised by the Guinness World Records in 2011 as the most-recorded artist in music history.
Asha Bhosle breathed her last on Sunday. She was 92. Doctor Prateet Samdani of Breach Candy Hospital confirmed that the veteran singer had been dealing with multiple health issues and died due to organ failure.
Bhosle is survived by her son, Anand, and her grandchildren.

The sheer range of Asha Bhosle is unbelievable. From "Piya Tu Ab To Aaja" to bhajans... she could sing anything. A true legend. These unseen pics are a treasure for fans.
As an outsider learning about Indian cinema, Asha Bhosle's voice was one of the first things that captivated me. Her music transcends language. A monumental loss for global music.
While the tribute is nice, I wish the article focused a bit more on her struggles and journey to the top. She faced so much competition and personal challenges. That's the real inspiring story.
My nani used to play her songs all day. Listening to Asha ji's voice now brings back so many childhood memories. She was the soundtrack to so many Indian homes. Gone but never forgotten. ❤️
The Guinness World Record says it all. Most recorded artist in history! What an incredible legacy. Her voice had a unique, playful quality that's impossible to replicate.
