ASHA BHOSLE ENTERS MIRCHI HALL OF FAME
The legend holds the Guinness record for singing over 11,000 songs across the world in 20 languages since 1947... and still counting
One of the biggest highlights at the 5th Royal Stag Mirchi Music Awards powered by Idea, was the Mirchi Hall Of Fame awardee Asha Bhosle looking heavenward as she dedicated her award to her daughter Varsha, who she recently lost. “God takes away, but then he also gives,” she said philosophically, deeply touched at receiving the honour. She later said, “Sweets toh we eat everyday, but Mirchi... aah. Mirchi bina zindagi bekaar.”
A visibly humbled Bachchan promised that the award would get pride of place in his house. Sonu Nigam’s live performance was the act of the night with his rousing tribute to Rajesh Khanna which electrified the audience, proving without doubt he’s a one-of-a-kind.”
An emotional Vishal Bhardwaj said, “I became a film director so that I could survive as a composer too. I’m scared... I don’t want to lose touch with my music. Anybody can become a director but sur, tal, raag one gets from God.”
When Baiju Bawra won the Best Album Of The Golden Era award, the film’s producer-director Vijay Bhatt’s grandson, Vikram Bhatt, noted in a choked voice, “All his life, my grandfather wanted recognition. The more he wanted, the less he got. In one of his emotional moments he asked me if people have forgotten him. But today, on receiving this award on his behalf, I can tell him, they haven’t.”
