Once, the legendary sisters were on stage for an event when they spoke about their relationship. It was then that Lata Mangeshkar shared how Asha Bhosle troubles her sometimes. She had said, “Asha meri behen hain, mujhse chaar saal choti hain aur hamesha mujhe tang kiya hain. Par main hamesha maaf karti hoon isko. Maaf toh karna hi padta hain. (Asha is my sister. She is four years younger than me. She has always troubled me. I always forgive her. I have to forgive.)"
On hearing this, Asha Bhosle responded, "Karna hi padega maaf toh. Maa maaf karti hain aur kaun karta hain maaf. (You have to forgive me. A mother always forgives.)"
