As the nation remembers legendary singer Asha Bhosle, an old memory from her childhood has touched hearts once again.
During a nostalgic visit to her childhood school, Vidyapit School, Asha Bhosle had shared delightful stories of her early years, describing herself as a lively and mischievous child who could never stop singing.
In a throwback video, the iconic singer smiled as she recalled, 'I was very, very naughty in my childhood.'
She said music was always a part of her life from the very beginning. Even as a schoolgirl, she was known for singing constantly and entertaining classmates and teachers.
Asha fondly remembered that many teachers would call her into classrooms not for lessons, but to sing and dance.
Books, she admitted, did not interest her as much as rhythm and melody.
She also remembered teacher Mr Mahajan, who would often scold her for singing too much, playing the tabla and not focusing enough on studies.
Yet what seemed like distraction in school later became the foundation of a remarkable musical journey.
Despite the discipline and scoldings, Asha looked back on those years with affection and joy.
She described her childhood days as beautiful and once said she wished she could return to them.
The memory now carries deeper emotion, as millions mourn the passing of one of India's most beloved voices.
What teachers once viewed as restlessness, the world later recognised as extraordinary talent.
That cheerful girl who could not stop singing grew into a timeless artist whose songs will live across generations
