As
veteran
singer
Asha
Bhosle
turned
88
on
September
8,
she
spoke
to
a
leading
daily
and
shared
her
views
on
modern
music.
When
asked
what
she
thinks
about
today's
music,
she
said
that
she
does
not
listen
to
them,
and
rather
prefers
listening
to
Mehdi
Hasan,
Pandit
Jasraj,
etc.
She
told
The
Times
of
India,
"I
don't
listen
to
it.
I
prefer
to
listen
to
good
music-
Mehdi
Hasan,
Pandit
Jasraj,
Bhimchand
Joshi
and
their
ilk.
As
far
as
singing
to
those
who
sang
with
me,
I
don't
need
to
revive
my
memories;
I
know
what
happened
at
the
recording
studios,
I
know
how
they
sang-
basically
I
know
their
craft
in
and
out."
In
the
same
interview,
Asha
also
spoke
about
several
singing
shows
that
air
on
national
television
and
said
that
she
has
been
to
such
shows,
and
she
feels
that
people
must
realise
that
singing
is
not
about
short
clothes
or
being
dramatic.
Asha
who
fails
to
recognise
young
singers
while
listening
to
their
songs,
said,
"I
have
to
ask
the
youth
around
me
that
who's
singing.
Technology
may
have
increased,
but
the
soul
is
absent.
I
remember,
we
did
so
much
improvisation
on
what
we
were
told
to
do-
and
ended
up
only
enhancing
the
numbers.
We
worked
very
hard.
We
always
thought
that
the
song
that
I'm
singing
should
not
be
my
last
song."
She
concluded
by
saying
that
if
anyone
wants
to
survive
in
the
industry,
his/her
work
has
to
speak
for
him/her.
