At 16 this singer ran away with Lata Mangeshkar's secretary, gave birth to 3 kids, harassed her, left him and married..., she is…
People know the queen of Indipop, Asha Bhosle, for her voice and songs. Every song of hers has been amazing. Along with her professional life, Asha Bhosle's personal life was also in the news. Her married life was opposite to the success she had in her career. Most people know that Asha Bhosle married R.D. Burman, but let us tell you that he was her second husband. Asha Bhosle had two marriages. In her first marriage, she eloped and married her sister Lata Mangeshkar's secretary, Ganpatrao Bhosle. Due to this, her family was very upset.
Yes! Very few people know that Asha Bhosle married 31-year-old Ganpatrao, who was Lata Mangeshkar's secretary, at 16. In 1949, both of them eloped and got married. Lata Mangeshkar was very sad about this, and she broke off relations with her younger sister. When Asha Bhosle became the mother of her first child, the Mangeshkar family adopted her, but Ganpatrao did not like this.
He did not want Asha Bhosle to have any relationship with his family, especially Lata Mangeshkar. It is said that Ganpatrao started harassing Asha for money, and her husband also stopped her from meeting Lata. There were fights between the two, and he even started beating Asha.
Asha Bhosle and Ganpatrao have three children. When she was about to become a mother for the third time, Ganpatrao asked her to leave the house. Both of them got separated this year. This was a sad time for Asha, but her singing career took a new turn.

In an interview with Kavita Chhibber, Asha had said, 'I got married at a very young age to a man 20 years older than me. It was a love marriage and Lata didi did not talk to me for a long time. She did not approve of this relationship. The family was very conservative, and they could not accept a singing star as a daughter-in-law.'
Asha also talked about the ill treatment she faced. She said, 'I was just ill-treated and when I was about to give birth to my youngest son, Anand, I was asked to leave the house and I went back to my mother and sisters. I don't blame anyone and I don't have any ill thoughts about anyone. I feel that if I hadn't met Mr Bhosle, I wouldn't have had these three lovely children, and my life wouldn't have been perfect.'
Let us tell you that Asha Bhosle and R.D. Burman used to meet often for work. Both of them started liking each other's company, because Asha was 6 years older than Burman, so Burman's family was against it. But going against them, both of them got married in 1980, and 14 years later, R.D. Burman, who is known as Pancham Da, passed away.

Adnan Sami Opens Up On Why He Left Pakistan And Chose To Stay In India, Was Facing A Lot Of Problems...
New Delhi: Singer and composer Adnan Sami was born in Pakistan and later in 2016 became an Indian citizen. In a latest interview with India TV's Aap Ki Adalat, Adnan Sami opened up on why he chose to move to India, problems he faced and lack of support in the Pakistani music industry. Adnan Sami's Professional Trouble In Pakistan Sharing what went wrong in Pakistan, he said, "I come from a very privileged family. I was never greedy for money because I was born in a home where I always had everything. An artiste is always wishing for audience. I got a lot of love from Pakistan, but I wanted a larger audience. After the songs I released in 1998, people in the Pakistani music industry thought my songs wouldn't work and I'm finished. So they didn't provide any publicity for those songs. Nobody got to know when the album released and vanished. I was very dejected. I was in Canada at that time. I knew they'd done that on purpose." What Asha Bhosle Advised Adnan Sami He recalled a conversation with veteran singer Asha Bhosle and said, "I told Asha ji I'm dejected because people here have decided they don't want to work with me for whatever reason, and that I want to record with her in London." In response, Bhosle advised him to move to Mumbai, saying, "'Why do you want to record in London?' she asked me. I said I know some people there. So she said, 'See, if you really want to do something new, come to Mumbai. This is the capital of Hindi music. Whatever gets popular here would spread out to the rest of the world. So this is the place to come.'" "Main boriya bistar le ke pahuch gaya Mumbai," Sami said, recalling how Bhosle and her family supported him during his early days in India. "She made me stay in RD Burman's home. I was very lucky because it was like a music temple," he added. Songs Went Unnoticed In Pakistan The songs that had earlier gone unnoticed in Pakistan became hits in India. "The songs that didn't work in Pakistan, like Kabhi To Nazar Milao, Bheegi Bheegi Raaton Mein, Lift Karadey, they were marketed so well that the rest is history. The way people embraced me and loved me, I could've never imagined it", he added. Sami added that his move to India was not motivated by money. "Money wasn't my driving force. In fact, when I came here, I had to start from scratch again," he said. "I was facing a lot of problems then as a Pakistani citizen, especially in a public profession. Everyone knows all your moves. I had even reached out to Musharraf for help." He applied for Indian citizenship in 2015 and was granted it the following year. Earlier this year, he was awarded the Padma Shri, India's fourth-highest civilian honour.

Asha Negi opens up about challenging role in Criminal Justice 4, breaking her ‘girl-next-door' image with it
The gripping legal crime drama Criminal Justice has returned with its fourth season, once again featuring Pankaj Tripathi in his acclaimed role as lawyer Madhav Mishra. This time, the story revolves around a complex murder case within a troubled family, presenting three conflicting versions of the truth. Joining the cast are Zeeshan Ayyub, Surveen Chawla and Asha Negi, each playing pivotal roles in this intense and emotionally layered narrative. (Also Read: Asha Negi says she still gets 'so many gaalis from fans' for breakup with Rithvik Dhanjani) In an exclusive conversation with Hindustan Times, Asha Negi spoke about being a part of the hit franchise. She plays Roshni Saluja, Zeeshan's girlfriend, who is murdered. Asha opened up about her limited screen time in the series and why she chose to take on the role despite that. Asha revealed that it was the story and the nature of her character that drew her in, 'because for the longest time people have seen me play the girl next door and those kind of roles. And I really want to experiment and do something different. When this show came to me, we all know it's a great show, the character, even though the screen time is less, it has so much to do. It has a lot of layers, and it was very challenging to play this.' A post shared by Asha Negi (@ashanegi) She described the most demanding aspects of bringing Roshni to life and said, 'Most of the days were quite challenging because when you're working opposite actors like Zeeshan Ayub. I had so many scenes with him and he's such a fantastic actor. So when you have scenes with somebody like him, you have to buckle up and bring your A-game, right? You can't just do anything and get away with it. So most of the days were quite challenging and most of the scenes that I did were challenging, which is amazing because it also helps you push as an actor and helps you learn and grow so much.' Asha admitted she had initial doubts about accepting the role, 'I was sceptical that my character dies eventually, toh kya hi hoga iska (what will happen to her) but then I was told to read the screenplay and character brief and I was like maybe yeah, screen-time is less but there are times when the character is very impactful. So it's one of the most beautifully written characters. It was also so challenging, I felt like I didn't know if I'd be able to do this or not, it seems difficult to me. But whatever I had, I gave it my all.' She also shared that nervousness is a part of every project she does and added, 'I am always nervous before starting a project. I get sleepless nights when I am about to start a new project. So, even this time, I was nervous. But it was so fun, you also see your growth and how much you learnt.' Criminal Justice 4: A Family Matter premiered on JioHotstar on May 29. However, only three episodes have been released so far, leaving many fans disappointed. Directed by Rohan Sippy and produced by Applause Entertainment in association with BBC Studios India, new episodes of the show will drop every Thursday.

Picture Credit: Facebook Television actress Asha Negi opened up about her initial hesitation in taking up the project, ' Criminal Justice 4 .' In a candid conversation, the actress admitted she was unsure at first, but a deeper understanding of the script and her character eventually won her over.

She realized that, despite the limited screen time, the part was layered and rich in performance potential. The 'Baarish' actress told IANS, "Yes, I was a bit skeptical at first because of the limited screen time. I wondered if the character would fade away-what then? But once I read the screenplay and received the character briefing, I realized that although the screen time was less, the role itself had a lot to offer. It was a performance-oriented character. I understood that it's not always about screen time-if the character is strong, that's enough for me. So, I went ahead with it."
