Mumbai: The upcoming episode of the reality show ‘Indian Idol’ will see Bollywood stalwart singer Shreya Ghoshal revealing how the legendary singer Asha Bhosle was behind the love story of Madhubala and Kishore Kumar during the filming of their iconic song ‘Haal Kaisa Hai Janaab Ka.’

During a performance by a contestants Chaitanya Devade and Jyotirmayee Nayak, on the song Haal Kaisa Hai Janaab Ka, Shreya credited Asha Bhosle for the iconic love story.

She said, “I went somewhere and heard that their love story started during this song. Hence, Asha Tai is responsible for their love story.” (I have read and heard somewhere that it was during this song that their love story began. Going by that, Asha Tai is technically responsible for their love story)

Host Aditya Narayan also shared an interesting anecdote from one of Asha Bhosle’s recording sessions. He revealed, “During a recording, Madhubala Ji looked so beautiful that Asha Ji forgot to sing just looking at her. She just kept looking at Madhubala Ji and said, ‘If I was a boy, I would fall in love with you.’”

(During one recording, Madhubala Ji looked so beautiful that Asha Ji completely forgot her song while looking at her. She just kept staring at Madhubala Ji and said, ‘If I were a man, I would have fallen in love with you)

After the soulful performance, Shreya Ghoshal reflected on the magic of duets and the chemistry that makes them timeless.

She said, “Today we are all celebrating duets, and duets cannot be done without chemistry. The chemistry that Asha Ji and Kishore Da sing in this song is visible to me only by Madhubala Ji. It seems as if Asha Ji has sung exactly the way Madhubala Ji would enact on screen.” (Today, we are all celebrating duets, and a duet simply cannot exist without chemistry. In the chemistry of Asha Ji and Kishore Da’s singing in this song, I can only see Madhubala Ji. It feels as though Asha Ji sang exactly the way Madhubala Ji performed on screen)

Praising Asha Bhosle’s expressive singing, Shreya further added, “Asha Ji is saluted. The way she is acting in the song, I feel that when the actresses got to know that Asha Ji was going to sing for them, then their wish would have been overstated because she had already put so much effort into the song.”

(Salute to Asha Ji. The way she brings acting into her songs, I feel when actresses found out that Asha Ji would be singing for them, they must have lost sleep because she had already infused so much life into the song)

Joining the conversation, Chintu Bhosle added another layer to Asha Bhosle’s artistry and shared, “She always asked who is the actor in the song. Then she thought what would the actor do on the screen and hence added her expressions and emotions to the song.”

(She would always ask who the actor in the song was. Then she would imagine what that actor would do on screen, and accordingly put those expressions and emotions into her singing)
