"I am very delighted with Rahman for what he has done. When I met him first for 'Rangeela', he was a young guy with long hair. And look at his compositions now. He is a genius," the veteran singer said.
"I had won two international awards earlier but no one really cared. But after Rahman's feat, the Indian music industry will surely make its presence felt worldwide," she added. However, she says that his all-time favourite remains husband RD Burman.
"Many musicians of today's generation copy Pancham da's compositions. He is my all time favourite. Rahman also has a unique style of working. He is a trained classical musician who has done all types of songs," added Bhosle.
When asked how would she rate Rahman on a one to ten scale, she said, "Please don't ask me that. I have struggled my whole life in the number game of one or two. You can't rank anyone that way. Shankar-Jaikishen or Madan Mohan all had there own charisma. Rahman is doing a great job in the present generation."
"Apart from Rahman, I think Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy and Pritam have shown great potential and variety in their compositions.
