Iconic Indian singer Asha ​Bhosle, known for a versatile repertoire ‌and high-energy music in countless Bollywood movies, has died at the age of 92 ​in Mumbai.

“Her extraordinary musical journey, ​spanning decades, enriched our cultural heritage ⁠and touched countless hearts across the ​world,” Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in ​a message on X.

“Be it her soulful melodies or vibrant compositions, her voice carried timeless ​brilliance.”

Bhosle had been moved to ​a private hospital in Mumbai on Saturday evening because ‌of ⁠a chest infection and exhaustion, her granddaughter Zanai Bhosle had said earlier.

Bhosle, whose career spanned nearly seven decades, was ​the younger ​sister ⁠of another iconic singer, Lata Mangeshkar.

Over the course of her career, ​Bhosle was nominated for two ​Grammy ⁠awards and was awarded the Dadasaheb Phalke award — India’s top arts award and ⁠also ​India’s second-highest civilian honour.
