“लता (हेमा) मंगेशकर यांचा जन्म २८ सप्टेंबर १९२९ रोजी इंदौर, मध्य प्रदेश येथे झाला. लता दीदी एक महान भारतीय गायिका आणि संगीतकार होत्या. भारतीय सिनेमाच्या संगीत क्षेत्रातील त्यांच्या प्रभावशाली योगदानामुळे त्यांना भारताची ‘गानकोकिळा’ आणि ‘क्वीन ऑफ मेलडी’ म्हणुन सन्मानाने ओळखले जाते. भारतीय संगीत क्षेत्रामध्ये त्यांनी आपल्या सात दशकांच्या कारकिर्दीत आपल्या स्वरांनी संगीतप्रेमींना मंत्रमुग्ध केले. लता दीदी या माझ्या सर्वकालीन आवडत्या गायिका आहेत.

लता दीदींनी सर्वप्रथम वडील दीनानाथ मंगेशकर यांच्याकडुन संगीताचे धडे घेतले. वयाच्या ५व्या वर्षी त्यांनी वडिलांच्या संगीत नाटकांमध्ये बाल-कलाकार म्हणून कामाची सुरूवात केली. १९४२ मध्ये वडीलांच्या मृत्युनंतर त्यांनी वसंत जोगळेकरांच्या ‘किती हसाल’ ह्या मराठी चित्रपटासाठी आपल्या कारकिर्दीतील पहिले गाणे गायले. ते गीत होते, ‘नाचू या गडे, खेळू सारी मनी हौस भारी.’ मात्र हे गाणे नंतर चित्रपटातुन वगळण्यात आले. त्याच वर्षी मास्टर विनायकांच्या ‘पहिली मंगळागौर’ ह्या मराठी चित्रपटात त्यांना एक छोटी भूमिका मिळाली व त्यांनी ‘नटली चैत्राची नवलाई’ हे दादा चांदेकरांनी स्वरबद्ध केलेले गीत गायले. पुढे १९४६ मध्ये वसंत जोगळेकरांच्या ‘आपकी सेवा में’ ह्या चित्रपटातुन त्यांनी हिंदी चित्रपटसृष्टीत पदार्पण केले व ‘पा लागूं कर जोरी’ हे गाणे गायले.

१९४९ मध्ये आलेल्या ‘महल’ या चित्रपटातील ‘आयेगा आनेवाला’ या गाण्याने त्यांच्या कारकिर्दीस नवे वळण दिले. त्यानंतर त्यांनी जवळपास सर्व संगीतकारांसोबत काम केले. लतादीदींना ‘सर्वोत्कृष्ट पार्श्वगायिका’ म्हणून सर्वप्रथम फ़िल्मफ़ेअर पारितोषिक सलिल चौधरींनी स्वरबद्ध केलेल्या ‘मधुमती’ (१९५८) या चित्रपटातील ‘आजा रे परदेसी’ ह्या गाण्यासाठी मिळाला. १९६० मध्ये ‘मुघल-ए-आज़म’ या चित्रपटातील नौशादने संगीतबद्ध केलेले ‘प्यार किया तो डरना क्या’ तुफान लोकप्रिय झाले. १९६०च्या दशकात लता दीदी निर्विवादपणे हिंदी चित्रपटसृष्टीतील प्रथम श्रेणीच्या पार्श्वगायिका ठरल्या. यानंतर पुढील सात दशकांत त्यांनी भारतीय सिनेमावर व संगीतप्रेमींवर निर्विवाद अधिराज्य गाजवले.

आपल्या कारकिर्दीत लतादीदींनी ३० हजाराहुन अधिक गाणी मराठी व हिंदी सोबत तब्बल ३६ पेक्षा जास्त भारतीय भाषांमध्ये आणि काही परदेशी भाषांमध्ये रेकॉर्ड केली. त्यांनी त्यांच्या संपूर्ण कारकीर्दीत ४ फिल्मफेअर, ३ राष्ट्रीय व इतर मिळुन जवळपास ८१ पुरस्कार जिंकले व ९८ नामांकने मिळवली. भारत सरकारने लता दींदीना १९८७ मध्ये दादासाहेब फाळके पुरस्कार व २००१ मध्ये भारतरत्न ह्या सर्वोच्च नागरी सन्मानाने सन्मानित केले. लता मंगेशकर यांना कोविड-१९ चा संसर्ग झाल्यामुळे त्यांच्यावर उपचार चालु होते. २८ दिवस उपचार घेतल्यानंतर शेवटी मुंबईतील ब्रीच कँडी हॉस्पिटल येथे ६ फेब्रुवारी २०२२ रोजी वयाच्या ९२व्या वर्षी त्यांचे निधन झाले. ही भारतीय संगीत क्षेत्रासाठी सर्वात दु:खद घटना होती. असंख्य संगीतप्रेमींच्या मनावर अधिराज्य गाजविणाऱ्या लता दीदींचे भारतीय संगीत क्षेत्रातील महान योगदान भारतीय सिनेमा कधीच विसरणार नाही.”

“गानसम्राज्ञी लता दीदी या माझ्या सर्वकालीन आवडत्या गायिका आहेत, ज्यांचा स्वर अगदी माझ्या ह्रदयाजवळ आहे. लता दीदी भारतीय सिनेमातील सर्वात यशस्वी व प्रतिभासंपन्न गायिका होत्या, ज्यांनी भारतीय चित्रपटसृष्टीवर व सिनेरसिकांच्या मनावर अक्षरश: अधिराज्य गाजवले.
जेव्हा कधी मी त्यांची गाणी ऐकतो, तेव्हा मला त्यांच्या गायनातील निरागसता, सुमधुरता व सुक्ष्म आवाज विलक्षण समाधान देऊन जातो. त्यांच्या ‘गाण्यांची निवड’ ही त्यांच्या व्यक्तिमत्वाशी जुळणारी आणि पुरक होती. याच वैशिष्ट्यांमुळे त्या माझ्या आवडत्या गायिका बनल्या. माझ्यासारख्या असंख्य संगीतप्रेमींना त्यांचा आवाज आयुष्याच्या प्रत्येक वळणावर समाधान देत राहिल व गीतांच्या रुपात भेटत राहिल.”

“आशा काळे यांचा जन्म २३ नोव्हेंबर १९४८ रोजी गडहिंग्लज, कोल्हापूर येथे झाला. आशा काळे या मराठी चित्रपटसृष्टी व नाट्यसृष्टीतल्या लोकप्रिय अभिनेत्री आहेत. त्या घरंदाज व नैसर्गिक अभिनयासाठी ओळखल्या जातात. आशा काळे मॅम मराठीतील माझ्या द्वितीय आवडत्या अभिनेत्री आहेत. आशा काळेंचे सुरुवातीचे शिक्षण कोल्हापुर आणि त्यानंतर पुणे येथे झाले. शिक्षण घेत असताना वयाच्या १४ व्या वर्षी त्यांनी ‘सिमेवरुन परत जा’ (१९६३) या नाटकाद्वारे रंगभूमीवर पदार्पण केले. त्यामुळे त्यांना महाविद्यालयीन शिक्षण घेता आले नाही. मात्र ‘कथ्थक’ चे त्यांनी शास्त्रशुध्द शिक्षण घेतले होते.

आशा काळेंचा पहिला चित्रपट होता दिग्दर्शक भालजी पेंढारकरांचा ‘तांबडी माती’ (१९६९), ज्या चित्रपटाद्वारे त्यांनी मराठी चित्रपटसृष्टीत पदार्पण केले. यानंतर त्यांनी ‘सतीचे वाण’ (१९६९), ‘हा खेळ सावल्यांचा’ (१९७६), ‘बाळा गाऊ कशी अंगाई’ (१९७७), ‘देवता’ (१९८३), ‘माहेरची माणसे’ (१९८४).. या चित्रपटांतुन, तसेच गहिरे रंग, नल दमयंती सारख्या नाटकांतुन दर्जेदार अभिनय केला. त्यांनी ‘इंद्रधनू’, ‘महाराणी पद्मिनी’ यांसारख्या दूरदर्शन मालिकांतुनही अभिनय केला. आपल्या अभिनय कारकिर्दीत त्यांनी जवळपास ३० मराठी चित्रपट व २१ नाटकांमध्ये अभिनय केला.

अ्शा काळेंना महाराष्ट्र शासनातर्फे २०१० साली ‘व्ही शांताराम जीवनगौरव पुरस्कार, २०१६ साली अखिल भारतीय मराठी नाट्य परिषदेचा ‘जीवनगौरव पुरस्कार’ अशा अनेक पुरस्कारांनी सन्मानित करण्यात आले.

आशा काळे यांच्या हस्ते २००८ साली गोवा येथे झालेल्या ६ व्या गोमंतक महिला साहित्य संमेलनाचे उद्घाटन करण्यात आले होते. त्यांना समाजकार्याची देखील आवड आहे. वृद्धाश्रम, मूकबधिर, मतिमंद मुलांच्या शाळा व कर्करोगी यांना भेटुन त्यांची त्या आवर्जुन विचारपूस करतात. त्यांचे पति माधव पांडुरंग नाईक हे मराठी चित्रपट, लघुपट, व समाजप्रबोधनात्मक माहितीपटाचे निर्माते होते, ज्यांचे २०१३ साली वृध्दापकाळाने निधन झाले.

आशा काळे यांनी आपल्या यशस्वी अभिनय कारकिर्दीत रसिकांच्या मनावर अधिराज्य गाजवले. खासकरुन त्यांच्या घरंदाज अभिनयामुळे आज देखील त्यांचे चित्रपट संपुर्ण परिवारासह बघावेत असेच आहेत. सोज्वळ, शालीन चेहरा आणि सुसंस्कृत व्यक्तिमत्त्व लाभलेल्या व मराठी रसिकांच्या हृदयात अढळ स्थान मिळविलेल्या ज्येष्ठ अभिनेत्री आशा काळे-नाईक यांचे मराठी चित्रपटसृष्टी व नाट्यसृष्टीतील योगदान भारतीय सिनेमातुन त्यांच्या अभिनयाद्वारे नेहमीच अधोरेखित केले जाईल.
