Asha Bhosle’s first husband was Ganpatrao Bhosle, who was her sister Lata Mangeshkar’s secretary. Asha was 16 when she eloped with the considerably older Ganpatrao, leading to an estrangement with her family. The early years of her career were marked by both personal and professional struggles. The couple had three children, but their marriage was troubled; Asha endured abuse, and the relationship ultimately ended in divorce in 1960. In 1980 she married Bollywood music director, R.D. Burman.
