Over 10 days after the passing of Asha Bhosle, her grandson Chaitanya Bhosle — better known as Chin2 Bhosle — is still trying to process the loss. “We all thought she’d live with us till 100,” he said, within minutes of getting on a call with us.
Bhosle’s demise has left a void in the musician’s life, and he is attempting to fill it with the one language the legendary singer stood for — music. He has released a tribute video, titled Chalte Chalte, in her memory. “[Earlier] I had written a song called Chalte Chalte for her. It was about death and moving on. [The lines went] ‘Chalte chalte aage chalke, na mudke, ya rukke…’ When I played it to her, she broke down. It reminded her of my father [Hemant Bhosle], and my aunt Varsha. She said she couldn’t sing it as the song was too painful.”
