Asha - Dil Dil Se Milakar Dekho - Mem Sahib [1956]

"Mem Sahib" [1956] is an Indian Hindi film directed by R.C. Talwar. Starring Shammi Kapoor, Kishore Kumar, Meena Kumari and Mehmood. Music is by Madan Mohan..........

Asha Bhosle (Marathi: आशा भोंसले) (born September 8, 1933) is an Indian singer. She is best known as a Bollywood playback singer, although she has a much wider repertoire. Her career started in 1943 and has spanned over six decades. She has done playback singing for over 1000 Bollywood movies and sold many records. She is the sister of the equally accomplished Lata Mangeshkar.

Asha Bhosle has won seven Filmfare Best Female Playback Awards out of 18 nominations. She won her first two awards in 1967 and 1968, when Lata Mangeshkar still used to accept the award (Mangeshkar asked not to be considered for the award nominations after 1969 to promote new talent). After receiving the award in 1979, Bhosle emulated her elder sister and requested that her name not be considered for the nominations hereafter. Despite this, Bhosle is the most frequent winner of this award to date, tying with Alka Yagnik. She was later given a Special Award for Rangeela in 1996, and the Filmfare Lifetime Achievement Award in 2001. Following is the list of her Filmfare Awards: * 1968: "Garibon ki Suno" (Dus Lakh, 1966) * 1969: "Parde Mein Rehne Do" (Shikar, 1968) * 1972: "Piya Tu Ab To Aaja" (Caravan, 1971) * 1973: "Dum Maro Dum" (Hare Rama Hare Krishna, 1972) * 1974: "Hone Lagi Hain Raat" (Naina, 1973) * 1975: "Chain Se Humko Kabhi" (Pran Jaye Par Vachan Na Jaye, 1974) * 1979: "Yeh Mera Dil" (Don, 1978)

Other Awards: * 1996 - Special Award (Rangeela, 1995) * 2001 - Filmfare Lifetime Achievement Award.

Asha has won the National Film Award for Best Female Playback Singer twice: * 1981: Dil Cheez Kya Hai (Umrao Jaan) * 1986: Mera Kuch Samaan (Ijaazat)

Thank you so much for sharing this clip with us ! you are a true friend !

You are most welcome, my friend Brindy.

Though KK was a good singer and a passable actor , Meena was among the most beloved of beloved stars. So you will all have to forgive me if my eyes refuse to wander away from this impeccable embodiment of beauty, talent,grace, and class until her life began to unravel, and like a piece of Greek tragedy, inexorably raced toward an untimely death at age 40. It's therefore always a joy to see her in vivacious roles as in this clip. And AB lends her own spiritedness to the scene. Thanks, Yuan.
