Mumbai Apri, l 13

Singer and Bhajan maestro Anup Jalota, in remembrance of the legendary singer Asha Bhosle, stated how every girl who dreams of becoming a singer, aspires to sing like Asha Bhosle or Lata Mangeshkar.

Talking to his social media account, Anup Jalota said, "In our film industry, a pillar of playback singing is gone. Asha ji has left behind a legacy, almost like a school of music. Any girl who dreams of becoming a singer aspires to sing like Asha ji or Lata ji,there's hardly a third thought."

Lauding the late stalwart singer Asha Bhosle for her incredible talent, Anup said, "It is truly amazing how she sang in so many different styles. She left no genre untouched, her bhajans were exceptional, her ghazals were beautiful, her fun songs were lively, and her classical renditions were equally remarkable. Even her subtle, nuanced songs were unforgettable. Who will be able to do this again?"

Remembering the singer, Anup further added, "Asha ji, we will never be able to forget you. We will miss you every day. Whether you are physically present or not, you will always remain with us. We will continue to listen to you and cherish your music forever. Asha ji, you are immortal."

For the uninitiated, Asha Bhosle passed away on April 12 following multi organ failure.

She was admitted to the hospital on April 11 due to severe exhaustion and chest infection as updated by her granddaughter Zanai Bhosle on her social media account.

The 92 year-old singer has been a part of the entertainment industry in the capacity of a legendary singer for 83 years.

While I have immense respect for the legends, I feel we should also encourage new voices and styles. The aspiration shouldn't only be to sing *like* them, but to find one's own unique voice while learning from their greatness. The music industry needs its next icons.

As an outsider learning about Indian music, the legacy of Asha Bhosle is simply staggering. 83 years in the industry! Her range, from bhajans to fun songs, is incredible. Her music is a beautiful gateway to understanding Indian culture.

"She left no genre untouched" - this sums it up. From "Piya Tu Ab To Aaja" to "Dum Maro Dum" to her divine bhajans... what versatility! We were blessed to have such a talent. Her voice will forever be the soundtrack of our lives. Immortal indeed.

It's a huge loss for Indian arts. My mother and grandmother both idolized her. Her songs connect generations. Listening to her feels like home. Rest in peace, Asha ji. Thank you for the magic. 💔

True legends. But let's not forget the other greats like Geeta Dutt, Shamshad Begum, and S. Janaki who also shaped playback singing. The industry was richer for having multiple phenomenal women. Asha ji was the brightest star among them.
