Adnan Sami Remembers Asha Bhosle

“I won’t miss her. For me, she still lives here. There is just one thing missing that I can’t pick up the phone and talk to her. Or I can’t sing with her. Or I can’t perform with her. As far as her personality is concerned, her soul is concerned, she will always live here,” Sami told ANI.

“As my daughter Medina says, she is Medina’s grandmother. She calls her grandmother. Her importance is in that place in our hearts and in our family. It is a treasure for all of us. She will always be alive through her art and voice,” he added.

During the conversation, Sami fondly recalled an anecdote from the time when he collaborated with the late singer. “Asha ji had very modern thoughts, and she was very progressive. I was recording with her for the first time in London. I have grown up in London, and I know the culture there. It’s not the same as we have in India. We call our parents’ friends either uncle or aunty. This is the way we respect our elders. In the West, this concept is not there,” he continued.

Mentioning how Asha Bhosle was unfamiliar with this cultural difference in calling names, Sami revealed how he introduced her as Asha Ji in London. “I told them that her name is Asha ji. When she came into the recording room, they addressed her as Asha ji. She was very happy. She even made Indian-style tea for everyone. Later, I told how I added an addition to her name,” Adnan Sami shared.
