The ‘Jhumka Gira Re’ singer, Asha Bhosle, joined our Editor-in-Chief, Kamiya Jani, for this special Sunday Brunch episode. We were in Dubai’s Asha’s to relish delectable Indian food and talk at length about her eight-decade music career and some life lessons. Read on to learn more about it.
Asha Bhosle Gave Us An Amazing Life Lesson
Who doesn’t want amazing life lessons from the legend, Asha Bhosle? Towards the end of the video, the singer sang the couplet “Shohrat ki bulandi bhi pal bhar ka tamasha hai, jis daal pe baithe ho vo toot bhi sakti hai,” by Bashir Badr. She revealed that this is her mantra in life as well.
Asha ji elaborated that fame in excess or “shohrat ki bulandi” or anything else in life is not a forever thing. It can slip from your hands in an instant leaving you with emptiness which is from the line “jis daal pe baithe ho vo toot bhi sakti hai.” With this euphemism, she gave us a reality check.
To lighten the mood, Kamiya quipped that when one is on top of a tree branch, one should enjoy the views and the winds. This made both of them laugh; however, Asha ji again mentioned that one should be cautious that the branch can snap any minute. And an individual should be ready to take on what comes after the fall.
