Vicky Kaushal on Asha Bhonsle and ‘tauba tauba’

Vicky graced the occasion in Mumbai, where he shared the stage with Asha. He expressed gratitude to the state government for inviting him to the event. But the moment that caught everyone’s attention was when Asha took Vicky’s nazar after he cracked a joke.

At the event, Vicky joked about how Asha was scared he would recite poetry, saying, “Asha ma’am baithi thi wahan pe. Unhone bahut hi darr ke saath meri taraf dekha aur mujhse poocha, tum bhi kavita padoge? Maine kahan, haan. (Asha ma’am was sitting right there. She looked at me scared and asked if I would also read poetry. And I said yes).”

He then joked that when he told her he wouldn’t just be reading poetry, that it would be in Marathi, she went ‘tauba tauba’. “Asha ma’am mhantle tauba tauba,” he said while smiling. The camera then turned to Asha, who was taking Vicky’s nazar with a large smile on her face.

For the unversed, in December last year, Vicky called Asha an ‘absolute legend’ after she performed to his hit song Tauba Tauba from Bad Newz.
