Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], April 13 (ANI): Punjabi singer Karan Aujla paid tribute to legendary singer Asha Bhosle at his Mumbai show on Sunday evening.
Aujla paused his show right before he zoomed the arena on a zipline to pay a tribute to Asha Bhosle by marking a moment of silence followed by a retrospective mash-up featuring 15 of her timeless singles, including Piya Tu Ab To Aaja, Dum Maro Dum, Chura Liya Hai Tumne Jo Dil, Yeh Mera Dil, O Haseena Zulfonwale, amongst others.
The gesture carried profound emotional weight as news of her passing at the age of 92 in Mumbai emerged the same day.
Notably, Asha Bhosle performed last on stage in 2024, where she crooned Aujla’s blockbuster ‘Tauba Tauba’. She also recreated Vicky Kaushal’s viral hook step.
Born in 1933, Asha Bhosle began her musical journey at a young age and rose to prominence in the 1950s.
Over her career spanning decades, she recorded thousands of songs across multiple Indian languages, ranging from classical and ghazals to cabaret, pop, and folk. Her work with leading composers and filmmakers made her one of the most influential voices in Indian cinema.
She was honoured with awards, including the Dadasaheb Phalke Award and the Padma Vibhushan, and was recognised by the Guinness World Records in 2011 as the most-recorded artist in music history.
Veteran singer had been dealing with multiple health issues. She died on Sunday due to organ failure. She is survived by her son, Anand, and her grandchildren. (ANI)
