Asha Bhosle, the legendary voice who carved her own identity beyond the towering legacy of her sister Lata Mangeshkar, passed away on Sunday at the age of 92.
Bhosle, celebrated for her unmatched versatility and genre-defying voice, was admitted to Breach Candy Hospital on Saturday evening due to a chest infection and exhaustion. Her family announced that the last rites will be held on Monday. Admirers can pay their respects at her residence in Lower Parel at 11 a.m., with the final rites scheduled for 4 p.m. at Shivaji Park.
The demise of the legendary singer is being mourned by the sporting community as well.
A deeply sad day for India, and for music lovers across the world.
