Mumbai, April 13

Veteran actress Mumtaz decided to pay tribute to the late legendary singer Asha Bhosle by reliving a fond memory of grooving on 'Koi Sehri Babu' with her in a throwback video.

Taking to her official Instagram handle, Mumtaz uploaded an old video of her tapping a foot on the 'Koi Sehri Babu' track from the 1973 drama movie, "Loafer", co-starring Dharmendra. In the clip, we could also see Asha Ji trying to match the steps to their beloved track.

Expressing her grief over the loss of the legendary actress, Mumtaz penned on the photo-sharing app, "#mumtaz. Today, I feel a deep sense of loss. Asha Bhosle ji was not just a legendary voice, she was the soul behind so many of my most cherished on-screen moments. Her songs gave life, charm, and emotion to my performances in a way that words can never fully express. (sic)"

Mumtaz revealed that working with Asha Bhosle felt nothing short of a blessing.

"Working with her voice was truly a blessing. She had a magic that made every song unforgettable. I will always remain grateful for the melodies she gifted me and the industry. Her voice will live on forever in our hearts. May her soul rest in peace," she went on to write.

Asha Bhosle was admitted to the Breach Candy Hospital in Mumbai on Saturday, and unfortunately, she passed away on Sunday at the age of 92.

In the eight decades she had been active in the industry, she had gone on to sing in multiple Indian as well as foreign languages.

Asha Bhosle received several awards for her music, including the two National Film Awards for 'Dil Cheez Kya Hai' from 'Umrao Jaan' and 'Mera Kuch Saamaan' from 'Ijaazat'.

In addition to this, she was also honoured with the Dadasaheb Phalke Award in 2000 and Padma Vibhushan, the second-highest civilian honour in 2008.

Asha Bhosle is known to have crooned almost 12,000 songs in around 20 languages.

This news brought tears. Growing up, my parents played Asha Bhosle and Lata Mangeshkar songs every morning. 12,000 songs! That's an unbelievable legacy. She was truly a Bharat Ratna in spirit, even if not in title. A huge loss for Indian culture.

While the tribute is heartfelt, I do wish the article spent a bit more time on her musical range and innovation, not just the number of songs. She revolutionized playback singing with her versatility, from cabaret to ghazals. That's her real legacy.

Seeing that clip must be magical! Mumtaz and Dharmendra in *Loafer*, with Asha ji's vibrant voice... that's classic Bollywood gold. These legends defined cinema for generations. We are so lucky to have their work preserved. Gone but never, ever forgotten. ❤️

Padma Vibhushan, Dadasaheb Phalke... well deserved. But for us fans, the real award was the joy her songs brought into our homes. From weddings to road trips, her voice was the soundtrack of our lives. A true gem has left us. Om Shanti.

It's incredible to think of the span of her career. She was singing for decades, for multiple generations of actors. That kind of longevity and relevance is rare. A monumental figure in world music, not just Indian.
