Asha Bhosle, the legendary voice behind hits like ‘Piya Tu’ and ‘Rangeela Re’, died at a hospital in Mumbai on Sunday, according to a report of Indian news portal NDTV.

The veteran singer of the Indian subcontinent died at 92.

Her son Anand Bhosle confirmed the news of her death and said, ‘She is no more. Her last rites will be held at 4:00pm tomorrow (Monday) at Shivaji Park in Mumbai.’

Asha Bhosle was admitted to the Breach Candy Hospital in Mumbai on Saturday. Her granddaughter Zanai Bhosle wrote on X that the veteran singer had been admitted to hospital following ‘extreme exhaustion and a chest infection’.

Asha Bhosle, best known for chartbusters such as ‘Piya Tu Ab To Aaja’, ‘Kajra Mohabbat Wala’, ‘Rangeela Re’, and ‘Dil Cheez Kya Hai’, would have turned 93 on September 8 this year. Her death has sent shockwaves through generations of music lovers who grew up listening to her songs.

Asha Bhosle was just 10 when she sang her first film song, Chala Chala Nav Bala, for the 1943 Marathi film Majha Bal.

Initially stereotyped for singing dance numbers such as ‘O Haseena Zulfonwali’, Bhosle later proved her depth with ghazals such as ‘Dil Cheez Kya Hai’ and classical pieces like ‘Tora Man Darpan Kehlaye’.
