Burman used to praise her voice, saying she had a very unique voice and good tune which made him smitten. He also used to send her anonymous flowers for years. Asha, not knowing who the anonymous flowers were from, used to throw them away which made Burman’s face fall. Finally after years of trying she said yes to the proposal not having any other option.
