We just attended the Asha Bhosle Concert in Atlantic City last night (4/19/2008). The show came as a total disappointment/shock to many, to say the least. The high regard we had for her as a singer and human being were totally shattered! Somewhere along the way to her fame, Ms. Bhosle seems to have forgotten that she attributes her success to the common man in India without whom, she would be nothing today. Last night, it was shocking, yet en-lightning for many, to witness the arrogant side of Ms. Bhosle's personality which caused her to completely ignore the basic humane considerations towards the common man, especially young children. Two groups of young dancers, who were invited to perform at the show were banned from performing, since apparently Ms. Bhosle was too tired and had no time to waste with the children's performance during the show. The 20+ kids, their teachers, friends and family who have been preparing for the show for weeks were left shocked and in tears to say the least! Ms. Bhosle - "in the US, each individual, regardless of their social status is treated with great respect, especially little kids. In this country, no one is above the LAW, including the president of the US. We will not let celebrities like you come to our country and abuse our very own young children. We will not tolerate such abuse. This is wrong."
