Mumbai, April 13

Punjabi singer Karan Aujla paid tribute to legendary singer Asha Bhosle at his Mumbai show on Sunday evening.

Aujla paused his show right before he zoomed the arena on a zipline to pay a tribute to Asha Bhosle by marking a moment of silence followed by a retrospective mash-up featuring 15 of her timeless singles, including amongst others.

The gesture carried profound emotional weight as news of her passing at the age of 92 in Mumbai emerged the same day.

Notably, Asha Bhosle performed last on stage in 2024, where she crooned Aujla's blockbuster 'Tauba Tauba'. She also recreated Vicky Kaushal's viral hook step.

Born in 1933, Asha Bhosle began her musical journey at a young age and rose to prominence in the 1950s.

Over her career spanning decades, she recorded thousands of songs across multiple Indian languages, ranging from classical and ghazals to cabaret, pop, and folk. Her work with leading composers and filmmakers made her one of the most influential voices in Indian cinema.

She was honoured with awards, including the Dadasaheb Phalke Award and the Padma Vibhushan, and was recognised by the Guinness World Records in 2011 as the most-recorded artist in music history.

Veteran singer had been dealing with multiple health issues. She died on Sunday due to organ failure. She is survived by her son, Anand, and her grandchildren.

The fact that she performed 'Tauba Tauba' last year at 91 is just mind-blowing! A true legend who never stopped. Her range, from classical to cabaret, was unmatched. A huge loss for Indian music.

Respect to Aujla for this. In the middle of a concert, to pause and honour a legend from a different generation and genre shows he understands his roots and respects the greats. More artists should do this.

While the tribute is touching, I do wish the article gave more details about the mash-up of her 15 songs. Which ones did he choose? That would have been a fascinating insight into how a modern artist interprets her legacy.

My grandmother used to play her ghazals all the time. Her voice had a unique texture that could convey any emotion. From "Piya Tu Ab To Aaja" to "Dum Maro Dum", she was truly versatile. An era has ended.

Guinness World Record holder! That says it all. Thousands of songs in multiple languages. We will never see another artist with that kind of prolific output and consistent quality. A true national treasure. 🇮🇳
