12,000 songs! That number alone is mind-boggling. Her versatility was unmatched—from peppy disco numbers to soulful ghazals. She didn't just sing; she brought characters to life. Her legacy is truly immortal.

While the ministers' tributes are nice, it's a bit sad that such profound appreciation often comes only after someone is gone. We should celebrate our living legends more. That said, her music will indeed live on forever.

My grandmother, my mother, and now me—three generations humming "In Aankhon Ki Masti Ke". That's the power of her voice. It transcended time. A very emotional day for the entire country.

The article rightly mentions her work in Bengali Rabindra Sangeet too. She wasn't just a Bollywood singer; she was a scholar of Indian music in its many forms. A true artist. Her songs are a national treasure.
