It's heartwarming to see Mouni Roy sharing this. Asha Bhosle's versatility was unmatched—from Bengali to Marathi to Hindi. 12,000 songs! That's a legacy that will never be matched. A true Bharat Ratna in our hearts.

While the tribute is nice, I wish more of today's actors and singers would talk about her immense contribution to Indian cinema's golden era, not just post on social media. Her work with R.D. Burman defined an era.

What an incredible life. 92 years and she sang almost until the end. The fact that she sang in 20 languages is mind-blowing. Her voice had such a unique spark. Condolences to her family and all her fans in India and worldwide.

"Jete Dao Amay Dekona" is such a beautiful song. It's lovely to see her appreciated for her work in regional cinema too, not just Bollywood. Her voice truly belonged to our lives, just like Mouni said. End of an era. 🙏

My parents' generation grew up with her, and so did I. From listening to her on Vividh Bharati to now on Spotify, her voice is timeless. Shivaji Park will be overflowing with love today. Om Shanti.
