Mumbai, April 12

Legendary singer Asha Bhosle breathed her last in Mumbai on Sunday at the age of 92. She was admitted to the Breach Candy Hospital on Saturday.

Doctor Prateet Samdani has shared that the singer was suffering from several medical complications and passed away due to multiple organ failure.

He said, "It is sad news that Asha Bhosle has passed away today. She was suffering from multiple medical complications and died due to multi-organ failure..."

Ashish Shelar, the Culture Minister of Maharashtra, announced the unfortunate news of Asha Bhosle's passing away outside the hospital.

Her last rites will take place at Shivaji Park, Mumbai, on Monday at 4:00 pm.

Asha Bhosle's son, Anand Bhosle, confirmed the news, saying that those who wish to pay their last respects to the singer can visit her Mumbai residence on Monday at 11 AM.

Zanai wrote on her official Instagram account, "My grandmother, Asha Bhosle due to extreme exhaustion and suffering a chest infection has been admitted to hospital and we request you to value our privacy. Treatment is ongoing and hopefully everything will be well and we shall update you positively."

Shifting our focus to her glorious term as a singer, Asha Bhosle sang her first song as a playback for the 1943 Marathi drama 'Majha Bal'.

Later, she also moved towards Hindi songs, delivering many memorable numbers such as 'Chura Liya Hai Tumne Jo Dil Ko', 'Do Lafzon Ki Hai Dil Ki Kahani', 'Kya Ghazab Karte Ho Ji', 'O Haseena Zulfonwale Jane Jahan', and 'Ye Ladka Hay Allah Kaisa Hai Diwana', to name just a few.

A legend leaves us. 92 is a good age, but it still hurts. Her contribution to Indian music is immeasurable. The news channels should focus more on celebrating her life rather than just the medical details.

Her duets with Kishore Kumar are pure gold. What a legacy she leaves behind. The term "multi-organ failure" sounds so clinical for someone who gave us so much soul.

A true icon. From "Piya Tu Ab To Aaja" to "Dum Maro Dum", she could sing anything with such feeling. Her voice will keep her alive forever. Rest well, Asha ji.
