Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis reached Asha Bhosle’s house late on Sunday evening and paid tribute.
Sung my first song at the age of 10 Asha Bhosle was the daughter of classical singer Dinanath Mangeshkar and younger sister of Lata Mangeshkar. Her father passed away when she was just 9 years old. For this reason, like Lata, Asha also had to start singing at an early age. Asha sang her first song at the age of 10.
Asha Bhosle sang more than 12,000 songs in more than 20 languages in her career. His songs ‘In Aankhon Ki Masti’, ‘Dum Maaro Dum’, ‘Piya Tu Ab To Aaja’ and ‘Chura Liya Hai Tumne’ are popular even today.
