Brett Lee swings to Bollywood music
MUMBAI, Nov 21: Australian fast bowler Brett Lee has appeared in a music video with Bollywood legend Asha Bhosle, playing the role of a foreigner who woos an Indian girl.
The video shows the guitar-playing Lee miming along to a love song from the album “Asha and Friends” which was released this week.
Lee, who has a rock band called “Six & Out” at home, shot the video during Australia's victorious Champions Trophy campaign in India last month.
Lee, 29, is preparing to spearhead Australia's pace attack against England in the much-awaited Ashes series starting in Brisbane on Thursday. “Other than cricket, music is my passion. When I was told I would be singing with a legend, I was glad,” Lee was quoted as saying in the Times of India newspaper.
The 73-year-old Bhosle was a Grammy nominee in 1997 and in a career spanning six decades has sung for 965 films. She is best known for folk-pop and cabaret.
“Lee sang well, he knows a few Hindi words and is a star,” Bhosle told reporters here. —AFP
