When Asha Bhosle's daughter, Varsha, revealed deleting memories of her father, Ganpatrao

Asha Bhosle's daughter, Varsha, who used to write for Rediff, once revealed that her earliest memory of the singer was a fleeting montage of doorbells ringing very late at night. She knew a sobbing lady who was putting her back to sleep. Varsha wanted to go outside the closed doors, as her father had forced Asha to sing. Varsha had become used to her father's routine. Varsha confessed to deleting memories of her dad and said:

"Later, I learned that that was a routine day in the life of my father: guarding Aai against all impediment which may have prevented her from singing for their supper. I have erased my father from my memory, and with him, some of my own childhood: a defence mechanism, people call it. From the sordid tales I hear from our old cook, I must have desperately needed to do it. Suffice to say that it is the stuff which has fed scriptwriters and novelists from time immemorial, of indignities heaped upon submissive womanhood."

Varsha Bhosle remembered scoring decent marks with minimum attendance at college

Varsha had further mentioned that she had left her life in the hands of destiny. She was happy to have scored decent marks after a bare minimum attendance, and deal with her political science department teacher, Mrs Dossal at Elphinstone College, Mumbai. Varsha revealed that her teacher was strict and had a temper. She recalled how her teacher knew the home environment of Varsha, who had shared:

"I can well imagine how you managed to get these marks. It's no big secret what can be bought and sold. I know what kind of a family you come from. Miss a single lecture, and we'll see. Besides, it has never needed a genius to pass bona fide our university exams without attending lectures. At that time, I found it hard to believe that her rage may have been goaded by envy, pettiness or prejudice. Against what, and against whom?"
