Today, on the passing of my all-time favourite singer, Asha Bhosleji, I find myself reflecting deeply. While in Rangeela (1995), AR Rahman composed the music, it was Ashaji’s voice that infused it with an immortal soul and raw, youthful fire.

Rangeela Re wasn’t just a song, it was a thunderclap that shook Bollywood. Urmila’s [Matondkar] electrifying moves on the streets of Mumbai, fused seamlessly with Ashaji’s playful sensuality and mischievous energy, redefined the music’s rebellious spirit.
