Actor Shah Rukh Khan called late legendary singer Asha Bhosle's voice "one of the pillars of Indian cinema".

SRK took to his official X (Earlier known as Twitter) handle and dropped a photo of adorably giving a peck on the cheek to Asha Ji.

Saddened to have learned about the passing away of the acclaimed singer, King Khan penned on the micro-blogging site, "It's truly sad to learn about Asha Tai's passing... her voice has been one of the pillars of Indian cinema and will continue to resonate world over for centuries to come (sic)".

Shah Rukh recalled how Asha Bhosle used to give her a lot of blessings and love whenever they used to meet.

Paying a heartfelt tribute to the singer, SRK added, "A talent that will outlive many, she always showered me with blessings and love and i will miss her. Rest in Peace Asha Tai... love you."

Many big names from the film fraternity, such as Akshay Kumar, Anil Kapoor, Hema Malini, Kajol, Raveena Tandon, and others, also used social media to mourn the loss of Asha Bhosle.

Asha Bhosle was admitted to the Breach Candy Hospital in Mumbai on Saturday, and on Sunday, she breathed her last at the age of 92.

During her career spanning over eight decades, she has recorded songs for films and albums in several Indian languages.

Asha Bhosle also went on to receive many awards. She bagged the prestigious National Film Award not once, but twice - for 'Dil Cheez Kya Hai' from 'Umrao Jaan' and 'Mera Kuch Saamaan' from 'Ijaazat'.

Additionally, the singer was also honoured with the Dadasaheb Phalke Award in 2000 and Padma Vibhushan, the second-highest civilian honour in the country, in 2008.

Asha Bhosle has lent her voice to almost 12,000 songs in 20 languages.

SRK's tribute is so heartfelt. You can see the genuine love and respect. Asha Ji's voice had a unique spark that could convey any emotion. 12,000 songs! What an incredible legacy.

While the tributes are nice, I wish the media would focus more on celebrating her life and vast body of work rather than just reporting which celebrity tweeted what. Her journey from the 1940s to now is the real story.

I'm an NRI, and Asha Bhosle's music was my strongest connection to India growing up. My mother would play her songs while cooking. A voice that truly transcended borders. Deepest condolences.

92 is a blessed age, but it still hurts. She sang for my grandmother's generation and mine. That's timeless talent. The duets with Kishore Kumar and R.D. Burman's compositions are pure gold.

An era has ended. Her voice had such versatility - romantic, playful, melancholic, she could do it all. "Mera Kuch Saamaan" from Ijaazat is playing on loop at my home today. A permanent pillar of our culture.
