She shared how she has been grieving her loss. She even recalled Asha Bhosle gifting her the soundtrack, Khatouba, which made her famous. She wrote:
"I am grieving the loss of a legendary talent today. Asha ji’s was a voice that captivated generations, and it was my supreme privilege that she sang so many of the film songs picturised on me. ‘Dum Maro Dum’, ‘Chura Liya’, ‘Do Lafzon Ki’, ‘Meri Soni Meri Tamanna’, ‘Khatouba’… the list goes on. One could perhaps say, Asha ji gifted me the soundtrack to my success! How very many hours I have spent with her voice in my ears and how much love I have received for lip-syncing along."
Further, Jeenat Aman revealed how they had to appear at a musical evening in Kolkata. However, when the legendary singer arrived, she was covered in bruises and nicks. She later found out that she had met with an accident, but despite it, she completed her commitment. She performed and took the stage by storm for many hours. Jeenat Aman further mentioned that Asha Bhosle was in her '80s at that time. She penned:
"We were both due to appear at a musical evening in Kolkata, and when Ashaji arrived I was horrified to see that she was covered in bruises and nicks. It turned out that she had been in an accident the previous day, but was determined to keep her professional commitment! Lo and behold, she took the stage by storm and kept the giddy audience in her thrall for many hours. Mind you, Asha ji was well into her 80s by this point, and it’s safe to say I left the event both impressed and inspired."
