Legendary playback singer Asha Bhosle's granddaughter, Zanai Bhosle is remembering the late singer with a heartfelt message for the admirers of her voice.

A legend who sang in 20 languages! That's incredible dedication. From "Chura Liya Hai" to "Do Lafzon Ki", her versatility was unmatched. A true Bharat Ratna of music.

As an admirer of Indian music from abroad, Asha Bhosle's voice had a unique energy that transcended borders. The state honours at her funeral show how much India valued her contribution. Rest in peace.

While the tributes are deserved, I wish the media coverage focused more on her musical legacy than just the list of celebrities at the funeral. Her work is what truly matters.

Dadasaheb Phalke, Padma Vibhushan, and now a state funeral. A fitting farewell for a legend. Her journey from that 1943 Marathi song to becoming an icon is inspiring. Jai Hind.
