Asha Bhosle Opens up About Lifelong Comparison with Sister Lata Mangeshkar

Asha Bhosle said, “Gulzarji once wrote about this. He said ‘Two people landed on the moon in 1969 for the first time. The one who stepped on the moon first became famous while the other who also stepped on the moon, wasn’t equally celebrated because he came second. Your sister came into this world first so she is who she is. You came into this world after her, so you will always be compared to her.”

On Tuesday, Lata Mangeshkar took to Twitter to wish the singer on her birthday. She wrote, “Aaj meri choti behen @ashabhosle ka janamdin hai. Asha apne aap mein ek bahut badi gayika hai.uska naam saari duniyaa jaanti hain. Main usko aashirwad deti hun ki wo aisehi gaati rahe aur hamesha khush rahe (Today is my sister Asha Bhosle’s birthday. She is a great singer. Her name is known worldwide. I bless her and pray that she keeps singing like this and is always happy).”
