Watch | When Asha Bhosle sang a Karan Aujla song: Rapper’s emotional tribute for Indian legend

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 sang Aujla's blockbuster 'Tauba Tauba'. She also recreated Vicky Kaushal's viral hook step.

Legendary Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar got emotional as he paid tribute to legendary singer. After paying his tribute, Sachin was seen to be overwhelmed with emotions, as an extraordinary music career that spanned over eight decades came to an end. He was there with his wife, Anjali.
Doctor Prateet Samdani of Breach Candy Hospital confirmed that the veteran singer had been dealing with multiple health issues and died due to organ failure.
Her son, Anand Bhosle, had confirmed the news and shared details of the final rites on Sunday, saying, "My mother passed away today. People can pay their last respects to her at 11 am tomorrow at Casa Grande, Lower Parel, where she lived. Her last rites will be performed at 4 pm tomorrow at Shivaji Park."
As news of her passing spread on Sunday, several well-known names from cinema and politics reached her Mumbai residence to pay their last respects. Among those who visited her home were Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, poet and lyricist Javed Akhtar, and veteran actress Shabana Azmi.

A career spanning decades

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.
