Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Sunday that he was 'deeply pained' by the demise of legendary singer Asha Bhosle, as he called her one of the most versatile voices India has ever seen. Bhosle, the prime minister said, will continue inspiring generations in the country and her songs will forever echo in the lives of the people.
"Her extraordinary musical journey, spanning
decades, enriched our cultural heritage and touched countless hearts across the world. Be it her soulful melodies or vibrant compositions, her voice carried timeless brilliance," he said.
"I’ll always cherish the interactions I’ve had with her. My condolences to her family, admirers and music lovers," he said in his tribute on X (formerly Twitter).
