Happy Birthday Asha Bhosle: Walking down the lane of her soulful songs

Rightly referred to as a synonym of versatility, melody, and scintillating voice, legendary singer Asha Bhosle has been spreading the magic of her vocal cords and wooing zillions of fans for the past seven decades. While she started her singing career with a Marathi song in 1943, it was in her late 50s when she grabbed the headlines. Debuting in 1948 with Saawan Aaya for Hansraj Behl’s Chunaria, Asha Bhosle began her reign with evergreen songs. From dance numbers to ghazals, romantic tracks to classical melodies, folk songs to retro style, the veteran singer stands as a strong example of a multi-talented singer for today’s generation. Asha Bhosle is celebrating her 89th birthday today, and we wish that she lives a hundred long years. On this special occasion, let’s dive into the soulful journey of some of her best songs:

Dum Maro Dum
