Actress-singer and Johnny Lever's daughter, Jamie Lever, took to her Instagram account to pen a long note as she mourned the demise of Asha Bhosle. She wrote, "My heart aches as I write this. I’ve always been an admirer of her artistry, and for much of my journey, I found myself inspired by her voice and style. I was so fascinated by her singing that I just naturally started mimicking her. People love the resemblance/impersonation, but the truth is there can only ever be one Asha ji."
She added, "Watching her live at Shanmukhananda Hall was unforgettable. Even then, her voice, charm, and energy lit up the stage- I became an even bigger fan."
She concluded, "I always wished to meet her, but that won’t be possible now. She would have pulled my cheeks, maybe 1 thappad or said something like ‘pagal ladki’ I would happily accept. As I’ve said before, “aap hain toh hum hain.” A part of who I am “chhoti Asha ji” exists because of her."
