At 16 this singer ran away with Lata Mangeshkar’s secretary, gave birth to 3 kids, was harassed by…, left her husband and married…, she is…
People know the queen of Indipop, Asha Bhosle, for her voice and songs. Every song of hers has been amazing. Along with her professional life, Asha Bhosle’s personal life was also in the news. Her married life was opposite to the success she had in her career. Most people know that Asha Bhosle married R.D. Burman, but let us tell you that he was her second husband. Asha Bhosle had two marriages. In her first marriage, she eloped and married her sister Lata Mangeshkar’s secretary, Ganpatrao Bhosle. Due to this, her family was very upset.
Yes! Very few people know that Asha Bhosle married 31-year-old Ganpatrao, who was Lata Mangeshkar’s secretary, at 16. In 1949, both of them eloped and got married. Lata Mangeshkar was very sad about this, and she broke off relations with her younger sister. When Asha Bhosle became the mother of her first child, the Mangeshkar family adopted her, but Ganpatrao did not like this.
He did not want Asha Bhosle to have any relationship with his family, especially Lata Mangeshkar. It is said that Ganpatrao started harassing Asha for money, and her husband also stopped her from meeting Lata. There were fights between the two, and he even started beating Asha.
Asha Bhosle and Ganpatrao have three children. When she was about to become a mother for the third time, Ganpatrao asked her to leave the house. Both of them got separated this year. This was a sad time for Asha, but her singing career took a new turn.

In an interview with Kavita Chhibber, Asha had said, “I got married at a very young age to a man 20 years older than me. It was a love marriage and Lata didi did not talk to me for a long time. She did not approve of this relationship. The family was very conservative, and they could not accept a singing star as a daughter-in-law.”
Asha also talked about the ill treatment she faced. She said, “I was just ill-treated and when I was about to give birth to my youngest son, Anand, I was asked to leave the house and I went back to my mother and sisters. I don’t blame anyone and I don’t have any ill thoughts about anyone. I feel that if I hadn’t met Mr Bhosle, I wouldn’t have had these three lovely children, and my life wouldn’t have been perfect.”
Let us tell you that Asha Bhosle and R.D. Burman used to meet often for work. Both of them started liking each other’s company, because Asha was 6 years older than Burman, so Burman’s family was against it. But going against them, both of them got married in 1980, and 14 years later, R.D. Burman, who is known as Pancham Da, passed away.
