Asha the Voice of India, enters Guinness World Records

VoiceBharathThe singing enchantress sings her way to the Guinness World Records Thursday certificate for the most studio recordings(singles) for recording up to 11,000 solo, duet and chorus backed songs and in over 20 Indian Languages since 1947.

Playful love songs or lusty cabaret numbers, soulful ghazals or funky pop, Bhosle's trod everywhere, with aplomb. From the early rock 'n' roll Eena meena deeka, to the seductive Burman number Piya tu ab to aaja in Caravan, to the unforgettable ghazals of Umrao Jaan. And at 65-plus, a voice to match oomph for oomph Urmila Matondkar's gyrations in the sexy Hoja Rangeela Re and Kambakt Ishq. By any count, a hectic vocal pace. A different Asha for every decade, every heroine and vamp or stars on the ramp.

She was conferred with this honour at the Asian awards function held in London. Contented Asha Bhosle said, "Today, in true sense, I feel that I am a recognized singer of the world. I knew I had recorded the maximum number of songs yet I never made noise about it. But Vishwas Nerurkar compiled the correct information of all my songs and sent it to the Guinness Book of Records which got me this award".

Asha Bhonsle, who continues to challenge herself anew, will soon be making her big screen acting debut in the Hindi feature film ‘Maaee’ which is complete and ready for release.
