To understand our relationship with Asha aunty, one has to go back to our father, music director Chitragupt's bond with both Lata aunty and Asha aunty. When our dad started around 1946, he got a lot of small-budget films and Asha aunty sang for most of them. Her songs composed by Chirtagupt were big hits like Do dil dhadak rahe hai (Insaaf,1956) with Talat Mehmood, Teri deed se tasalli (Samson, 1964), Aana hai to chale aao with Mohammed Rafi (Taxi Stand, 1958), Ae saba unse keh zara (Ali Baba Aur 40 Chor, 1954), or her fabulous fusion song with Manna Dey.
