Sachin's musical note for Asha
Sachin took to X (formerly Twitter) on Friday to share a picture in which him and Anjali are posing with Asha. Sachin was seen in a dark blue shirt and Anjali opted a pink one. Asha is seen in a light blue sari with her signature red bindi and pearl necklace. She's holding a hand each of the Tendulkar couple while sitting, as Sachin and Anjali bend, pose and smile next to her.
Sachin's caption read, “Dear Asha Tai, Itne saalon se 'Chura Liya Hai' aapki awaaz ne jo dil ko, par aapki awaaz ke saamne, 'Dil Cheez Kya Hai'. Aapke gaanon par toh 'Gun Guna Rahe Hain Bhanware' aisa bhi sunne mein aaya hai. Aapka sangeet mein hona, aur usse hamari zindagi mein hona, hai sach much 'Sona Re'! Happy 90th birthday Tai! @ashabhosle”
Here, Sachin is referring to four iconic songs of Asha. Firstly, Chura Liya Hai Tumne Jo Dil Ko is from Nasir Hussain's 1977 musical Hum Kisise Kum Naheen. Secondly, Dil Cheez Kya Hai is from Muzaffar Ali's 1981 period film Umrao Jaan. Thirdly, Gun Guna Rahe Hain Bhanvare is from Shakti Samanta's 1969 romantic film Aradhana. And lastly, O Mere Sona Re Sona is from Vijay Anand's 1966 musical thriller Teesri Manzil. These songs not only demonstrate Asha's range, but also her longevity.
