India has forever lost the Mangeshkar legacy with the passing of Asha Bhosle, just four years after the death of her legendary elder sister, Lata Mangeshkar. Both died on a Sunday, leaving for the heavenly abode at the age of 92. As the nation mourns the loss of two of its most iconic voices, many are revisiting the deeply personal chapters of Asha Bhosle’s life, one that was riddled with perhaps more lows than highs.
Amid it all, a particularly painful and life-altering moment was when she fell in love with her first husband, Ganpatrao Bhosle. When she decided to elope and marry early, little did young Asha know that it would lead to a deep estrangement from her family, including a long-standing rift with Lata Mangeshkar.
