Asha Bhosle bowled the audience over with her rendering of the song she sang for Amardeep and some Tamil songs of P Susheela, whom she called the Lata Mangeshkar of the South. The evergreen singer had the audience in splits with her mimicry of her sister Lata and Sivaji.
She narrated the first trip her family and she had made to Chennai in the early 1960s, as guests of Sivaji Ganesan, and how he became an Anna (elder brother) to them. "Once I asked Anna whether he enjoyed being called Anna," she said. "He told me he preferred people calling him Sivji. From that day onwards, I called him Sivji. Other than me, Raj Kapoor was the only person who called him Sivji. He asked me to learn Tamil from Kamalamma [Sivaji's wife] and I did pick up a lot of words from her. Ram and Prabhu were school kids when I first came to Anna's house. They are like my own sons. So I have to be here for them for this function," she said.
