A look at Asha Bhosle's incredible career

Born in 1933, Asha Bhosle was one of the greatest and most influential singers in Hindi cinema. She received numerous awards in her career including two National Film Awards, four BFJA Awards, eighteen Maharashtra State Film Awards, nine Filmfare Awards, a Lifetime Achievement Award and seven Filmfare Awards for Best Female Playback Singer. She even gained two Grammy nominations.

She made a name for herself despite being the legendary singer Lata Mangeshkar's younger sister. However, Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhosle's sibling rivalry was also talked about in the industry. When Bhosle eloped with Ganpatrao Bhosle, Mangeshkar called it irresponsible. In her initial days, Bhosle also played second fiddle to Mangeshkar.

As per reports, Asha Bhosle sang over 12000 songs in her career.
