Singing legend Asha Bhosle's is impressed with humility of ace cricketer Sachin Tendulkar, who launched the music of her debut movie "Mai", and says he's always been there for her.

"He has so much respect for me that whenever I called him, he never said that I cannot come. 'Sachin ek aise ped ki tarah hain jis par phal hai aur woh jhukta hi jaa raha hai'. (As he is growing in life, Sachin is becoming more and more humble)," said the singer at the music launch of "Mai" Tuesday.

Directed by debutant Mahesh Kodiyal, "Mai" tells the story of a woman abandoned by her only son. Padmini Kolhapure, Ram Kapoor, Navin Kaushik and Shivani Joshi join Asha in the cast of the movie.
