Amitabh Bachchan remembers the late Asha Bhosle

Amitabh Bachchan titled his latest blog post as ‘Sorrow and grief…’. He wrote, “An entire era, an incredible, phenomenal, astounding, prodigious presence… lost yesterday. The iconic, legendary Asha Bhosle Ji has left us. In immense grief…Her versatility in giving life to every song she gave voice to has gone to the heavens and has left us an entire encyclopedia of eternal music. The body has left us, but her soul shall remain forever with us. Her voice – the soul, shall ever be immortalised.”

He signed off the blog writing, “In immense grief.”

This is not the first time Amitabh Bachchan has posted about Asha Bhosle. In 2020, he shared a rare photo of Bhosle alongside her sister Lata Mangeshkar on X.

Bret Lee and Boy George pay tribute to Asha Bhosle

Cricketer and singer Bret Lee also penned an emotional note on Asha Bhosle. Sharing a few pictures with the singer, he wrote on Instagram, “I had the pleasure of writing and recording You’re the One for Me with Asha Bhosle back in 2006. It’s something I’ll always be incredibly grateful for. What stayed with me most wasn’t just her extraordinary talent, but how kind and humble she was. For someone who had achieved so much in her life, she carried herself with such warmth and generosity. My thoughts are with her family and friends at this time. I feel very fortunate to have shared even a small moment with someone so special. There’s no doubt her legacy will live on for generations to come.”
