Celebs react to Asha Bhosle’s death

While Asha Bhosle’s death has been a huge loss to Indian cinema, many celebs, including Shah Rukh Khan, Alia Bhatt, Akshay Kumar, Sidharth Malhotra, and others, expressed grief on social media. A special tribute was paid to the legendary singer at the recent IPL Match, where players of The Mumbai Indians Team and The Royal Challengers Bengaluru Team observed a one-minute silence and wore black armbands in her honour.

Shreya Ghoshal and Karan Aujla also paid a tribute to Asha Bhosle during their live concerts. Reacting to her demise, actress Smriti Irani told SCREEN, “Asha Bhosle ji’s voice was not just timeless—it was transformative. She brought an unmatched versatility and emotional depth to Indian music, shaping generations of listeners and artists alike. Her legacy will live on through the countless melodies that continue to inspire and endure.”

Singer Usha Uthup also told SCREEN, “Though people will talk about the technicalities and how she sang, I think she has been one of the most versatile and iconic singers of our time. There will be generations following her music; she will continue to inspire children from all generations to sing like her or at least learn from her music. It is a huge blow for all of us, and a song is always bigger than the singer; though her body is no more with us, the quality and volume of work she leaves behind will live forever. There is not a single day that I haven’t sung Dum Maaro Dum; there is not a single show, every show I have sung the song faithfully. I say, Thank you for the music, Ashaji, you are in a much better place, and world. May your soul rest in peace.”

In her career spanning over seven decades, Asha Bhosle has sung over 12000 songs in several languages and across various genres. Some of her popular songs are ‘Abhi Na Jao Chhod Kar,’ ‘In Aankhon Ki Masti,’ ‘Do Lafzon Ki Hai’, ‘Yeh Mera Dil’, Piya Tu Ab Toh Aaja,’ ‘Zara Sa Jhoom Loon Main,’ and many more.
