Her only purpose in life was singing nothing but singing.”

He further reflected on how she lived with grace, passion, and dedication. Praising both Asha Bhosle and Lata Mangeshkar, he said, “One can learn how to live life from Asha ji. There can be no one like Asha ji and Lata Mangeshkar they are truly one of a kind.”

Asha Bhosle, one of the most iconic and versatile voices in Indian music history, died on Sunday at the age of 92, leaving a prolific legacy that shaped the soundscape of Indian cinema and music for more than eight decades. Dr Pratit Samdani of Breach Candy Hospital confirmed her passing.

“Asha Bhosle breathed her last today in Breach Candy Hospital. She passed away due to multi-organ failure,” Dr Samdani stated. She had been admitted to the hospital on Saturday evening following extreme exhaustion and a chest infection.

Her most celebrated songs span over six decades, demonstrating unmatched versatility across Bollywood, ghazals, and regional music. Her work was largely defined by iconic collaborations with R.D. Burman and O.P. Nayyar. Notable tracks include ‘Chura Liya Hai Tumne,’ ‘Dum Maro Dum,’ ‘Piya Tu Ab To Aaja,’ ‘Aao Na Gale Lag Jao Na,’ and ‘In Aankhon Ki Masti Ke.’
