Asha Bhosle—the legendary figure behind hit songs such as ‘Piya Tu Ab To Aaja’, ‘Jaaiye Aap Kahan Jaayenge’, ‘Rangeela Re’, and ‘Sharara Sharara’—would have turned 93 on September 8, 2026.
She began her singing career quite early on, in 1943, with the song ‘Chala Chala Nav Bala’ from her debut Marathi film, Majha Bal.
Initially, people tended to pigeonhole her, limiting her to highly energetic dance numbers like ‘Piya Tu Ab To Aaja’ and ‘O Haseena Zulfon Wali’; however, she later proved her immense versatility through soul-stirring ghazals like ‘Dil Cheez Kya Hai’ and classical gems such as ‘Tora Man Darpan Kehlaye’.
In 2023, on her 90th birthday, instead of opting for a quiet family gathering, she traveled to Dubai to perform a massive live concert.
Speaking to PTI ahead of the show, she remarked, “Even at the age of 90, to be able to stand on stage and sing continuously for three hours… I am incredibly happy that I can still do this.” She further added, “If our breath ceases, we die. For me, music is my very breath. I have lived my life by its support, given my all to music, and even weathered those difficult times when I felt I could go no further—and yet, here I stand today.”
Then, in 2024, she took the internet by storm during another show in Dubai by performing to Karan Aujla’s smash hit ‘Tauba Tauba’; she even flawlessly recreated the viral dance step from Vicky Kaushal and Tripti Dimri’s film, Bad Newz. He won two National Film Awards, the Dadasaheb Phalke Award in 2000, and India’s ‘Padma Vibhushan’ honor in 2008.
