‘A new world opened up for me’
Playback icon Asha Bhosle would attribute her grandchildren as an inspiration behind her decision to launch her YouTube channel.
“Due to the present situation, like all of humanity, I am cooped up at home. Sitting at home, with my grandkids and observing their net savvy communication skills, a new world opened up for me,” said Bhosle, who launched her YouTube channel recently.
Besides music, Bhosle's channel will unravel interesting facets about her, replete with anecdotes.
‘These days youngsters have more first-world problems rather than real-world issues. Their problems can be, ‘why am I not getting likes and popularity among peers on social media?' or ‘why is his car bigger than mine?' There is jealousy, greed and exhibitionism rather than living in the moment exploring.’

Speaking about it, she said, “Our medical professionals and health care workers are the heroes and warriors who need our love and support. It’s a high risk job as they are exposed directly to the virus, experiencing the raw vulnerability of human life at the border between life and death. Nothing prepares people adequately for a situation like this. I wanted to give them uninterrupted entertainment, cheer for them, pay tribute to them and let them know how thankful we are.”
