Union Home Minister, Amit Shah, paid tribute to Asha Bhosle on X. He wrote, “Today is a sorrowful day for every Indian, and especially for every music lover like me, as our beloved Asha Bhosle ji is no longer among us. Asha Tai not only carved out a unique identity with her sweet voice and unparalleled talent, but also enriched Indian music further through her melodies. Her extraordinary ability to adapt to every genre of music won over every heart. Asha ji, who touched millions of hearts with her voice, left an indelible mark not just in Hindi, Marathi, Bengali, Tamil, Gujarati, and many other languages, but also in folk songs.”
He added, “Asha Tai’s voice held as much tenderness as her demeanor did simplicity and warmth. Whenever I met her, we would have long conversations on topics like music and art. Though she may not be with us today, through her voice, she will forever remain in our hearts. May God grant Asha ji a place at His divine feet. I extend my deepest condolences to her family and countless admirers. Om Shanti Shanti Shanti.”
आज हर भारतीय और विशेषकर मेरे जैसे हर संगीत प्रेमी के लिए दुःखद दिन है, जब हम सबकी प्रिय आशा भोसले जी हमारे बीच नहीं रहीं।
