Gautam Adani, the powerhouse behind Adani Group, led the chorus of sorrow following the death of playback singing icon Asha Bhosle. In a poignant X post, he evoked the timeless lines from ‘Abhi Na Jaana Chhod Kar,’ lamenting, ‘India’s heart was never prepared to bid farewell to Asha ji. She has left an immortal legacy resonating through homes, memories, and generations. Your sweet tunes are forever. Om Shanti.’
The 92-year-old legend succumbed to health complications at Breach Candy Hospital in Mumbai. Arrangements for her last rites include public viewing on Monday morning till afternoon, with a ceremonial cremation at Shivaji Park in the evening, as confirmed by her son Anand.
Asha Bhosle’s journey in music was nothing short of extraordinary. Active for more than eight decades, she lent her versatile voice to over 12,000 tracks, enchanting listeners from every walk of life. Iconic numbers such as ‘Piya Tu Ab To Aaja,’ ‘Dum Maro Dum,’ ‘Yeh Mera Dil,’ ‘Chura Liya Hai Tumne Jo,’ ‘In Aankhon Ki Masti,’ and ‘Dil Cheez Kya Hai’ cemented her as an eternal star.
Accolades poured in throughout her life: Dadasaheb Phalke Award, Padma Vibhushan, National Film Awards, and a trove of Filmfares. Adani’s words capture the collective sentiment—Bhosle’s magic will forever echo, bridging past and future in the annals of Indian cinema and music.
