End of an era. From "Piya Tu Ab To Aaja" to "Dum Maro Dum", her voice had a magic that can never be replicated. My parents' generation grew up with her, and we did too through the old classics. Rest in peace.

While the tribute is heartfelt, I feel a bit uneasy about celebrities sharing such personal moments of grief on social media. It sometimes feels performative. That said, the loss of Asha Ji is a national loss. Her contribution is unparalleled.

Padma Vibhushan, Dadasaheb Phalke... what a legacy! She worked with every major composer from O.P. Nayyar to R.D. Burman. Her voice had a unique spark. Truly, legends live on forever through their art. Om Shanti.

"Abhi Na Jao Chhod Kar" is such a perfect, poignant choice for the tribute video. It feels like the nation is saying that to her right now. Don't go... Her music will keep her alive with us. 💔
