Asha has also worked with many other composers like Naushad, [[Madan Mohan]], [[Shankar-Jaikishan]], and [[Salil Chaudhary]] among others. Shankar Jaikishan worked very little with Asha. However, the team produced quite a few hits including the seductive ''Parde mein rehne do'' (''Shikar'', [[1958]]). Asha got her second Filmfare Award for the song. Asha also sang the song ''Zindagi ek safar hai suhaana'' (''Andaz'') for Shankar Jaikishan, in which she tried to [[yodel]] like Kishore Kumar, whose version of the song is more better known. Madan Mohan also recorded few songs with Asha, including the popular folk number ''Jhumka gira re'' (''Mera Saaya''). In ''Chhoti Si Baat'' ([[1975]]), Asha sang the ''Jaaneman Jaaneman'' number with [[K J Yesudas]] for [[Salil Chowdhury]].
The [[South India]]n maestro, [[Ilayaraaja]] worked with Asha in [[Kamal Haasan]]'s ''Hey! Ram''. The film flopped, but Asha's song ''Janmon ki jwala (A duet with Hariharan)'' went well with audience. Composer [[Anu Malik]] and Asha have recorded many hit songs together, including songs for his first movie ''Soni Mahiwal''. Their most popular songs include ''Filhaal'' (''Filhaal''), ''Kitabein bahut si'' (''Baazigar'') among others. The four lines sung by Asha in Anu Malik's ''Jab dil mile'' (''Yaadein'') stood out among voices of Sukhwinder Singh, [[Udit Narayan]] and [[Sunidhi Chauhan]]. Another Asha patron is the young composer [[Sandeep Chowta]], who got her to sing ''Kambakht Ishq (A duet with Sonu Nigam)'' (''Pyaar Tune Kya Kiya'', [[2001]]). The song was very popular among the Indian youngsters.
Asha has worked with Lata-patrons like [[Laxmikant-Pyarelal]], [[Naushad]], Ravindra Jain, N Dutta, [[Hemant Kumar]]. Once when Naushad was asked to sum up the essential difference between Lata and Asha, he said that Asha "lacks certain something which Lata, and Lata alone has". Later he accepted in an interview, "May be I said it because I then had a closed ear on Asha."<ref name="Girija">
