The ‘#SuroKeSartaj’ Asha Ji who also happens to be a dedicated viewer of the music reality show couldn’t contain her happiness being on the show. Eager to meet and interact with everyone, the presence of the great legend on the show was a moment one will never forget.

Contestant Nihal Tauro, who gave an energetic performance on songs Kitnay Bhi Tu Kar Le Sitam and Aaja Aaja Mein Hoon Pyar Tera wins mighty praises from the judges and Asha ji as well. Remembering the song Aaja Aaja Mein Hoon Pyar Tera, Asha ji will be seen revealing a very interesting moment behind the main tune of the song.

Asha Bhosle shared, “This song (Aaja Aaja Mein Hoon Pyar Tera) was very difficult for me to sing. R.D Burman Saab came home one day, took the baaja and sat down requesting me to sing the song. When I heard him play the ‘O aa jaa, aah aah’ part, I was a little taken aback as I didn’t think I would be able to do it. However, I informed Burman saab that I would make an attempt to sing the song after four to five days. I started practicing the main tune in my car so much, that one day, my driver got worried. Once we reached Haji Ali which is where I stay, my driver suddenly asked me if I wanted to visit the hospital as he thought I was gasping for breath. It was a really funny moment.”

She further adds, “The moment I reached home, I went to my sister Lata Mangeshkar and conveyed my apprehensions singing the song to which she humble said, ‘You are forgetting that you are a Mangeshkar first and later Bhosle. Go sing the song, you will do good’.”

Nihal Tauro who sang the memorable song and also witnessed the story being it said, “It was such a delightful moment for me to sing in front of Asha ji. I am such a huge fan of Asha ji and her songs. I cannot describe my feeling in words today. It’s truly an honor.”
