The upcoming episode of Indian Idol will be filled with nostalgia and laughter as Chintu Bhosle, also known as Chaitanya Bhosle, recalled how his grandmother, the legendary singer Asha Bhosle, once pranked a live audience about her relationship status. Chintu, who is Asha Bhosle's grandson, shared a hilarious anecdote from a live show where she introduced him as her younger boyfriend.
The Prank That Left the Audience Amused
Chintu recounted the incident, saying, "She said, 'Main introduce karungi tu chup rehna,' I said okay. Tab unhone audience ko bataya ki abhi aane wala hai mera boyfriend aur hum saath mein gaayenge." (She said, 'I will do the introduction, you just stay quiet.' I said, 'Okay.' Then she told the audience, 'Now my boyfriend is about to come on stage, and we are going to sing together.')
The audience was left surprised and amused as Asha Bhosle publicly introduced Chintu as her boyfriend. After the song and dance, she clarified, "Gaane ke baad, after we danced, she's like ki yeh mera boyfriend nahi hain yeh mera pota hai." (After the song, after we danced, she said, 'He is not my boyfriend; he is my grandson.')
Another Special Memory: Nervousness Before the Stage
Chintu also shared another touching memory. He said, "Hum khade the stage pe, and they were about to announce her name, suddenly she held my hand, I asked, 'kya hua? Sab theek?' And then she looks at me ke main pagal hogaya hoon ke 'kya matlab sab theek? Haan sab theek hain toh kya hua? Nervous hoon.' I said okay, maybe she also gets nervous. Ek baar announce kiya she sets onto the stage aur phir sab nervousness, sab kuch khatam." (We were standing on the stage, and they were about to announce her name. Suddenly, she held my hand. I asked, 'What happened? Is everything okay?' And then she looked at me as if I had gone crazy and said, 'What do you mean, is everything okay? Everything is fine... I am just nervous.' I said okay, maybe she gets nervous too. But the moment her name was announced, and she stepped onto the stage, all the nervousness just disappeared.)
