Talking to IANS, Kunal revealed his sheer fortune of working with Asha Bhosle. He said, “I had a wonderful experience working with Asha ji. We went on a two-and-a-half-month tour across North America, Canada, South America, and the West Indies. I performed with her band alongside many artists like Sonu and Kailash. I used to open the shows, and sometimes we would end the performance with Asha ji or Sonu.”
He highlighted how he bonded with the legendary singer over music and food. The singer added, “During those months, we learned so much. My wife and I would often go to her suite after shows for dinner with Nandu ji. We spoke about legends like Rafi saab, Kishore da, Pancham da, Mukesh ji, and Lata ji. She shared many invaluable lessons about singing. Those memories stay with me.”
He went on to reveal, “Back then, I used to eat non-vegetarian food, and she loved feeding me, fish, prawns, chicken, mutton. But when I quit non-veg, I met her at the airport in 2012. She said, “I’m cooking, you must come!” When I told her I had stopped eating non-veg, she got upset and jokingly said, “What will I feed you now? A lion doesn’t eat grass!”
