Urmila Matondkar is thrilled to bits. She has just returned from shooting the video for a song that she has sung with the legendary Asha Bhosle for Shamir Tandon's album. "I've always been one of Ashaji's biggest fans. We go back a long way. She has known me from when I was a child. She had sung in one of my Marathi films as a child actor called 'Sansar'. Then, of course, her husband R.D. Burman composed music for my 'Masoom'. The couple has seen me grow up," Urmila told IANS. …
Recalled Urmila: "For a long time I wanted to attend a Marathi concert, and I did. When I was on stage, I hummed one of the first songs she sang for me in 'Chamatkar' - 'Bichoo yeh bichoo'. There and then she said, 'You're singing for me'. "The next day, when she again asked me to sing with her, I begged off, saying Sanjay Dutt liked to sing in public while I did't. But she encouraged me with what R.D. Burman used to say to her, 'We'll drop the song if you can't do it.' After that, (composer) Shamir Tandon made it very easy for me to believe I could sing. Ashaji and I had great fun singing 'Main ghulan hoon'. "It's easy for a man and woman to sing a duet. But two women; no one will dare to compare my voice with hers. But when you've two women, singing parallels are bound to be drawn. Just before I went on air, I wanted to kick myself for agreeing. I almost lost my nerve. I wanted to kill myself. I finally sang with her." ….read more
