Mumbai, April 2026 : Legendary playback singer Asha Bhosle has been admitted to the Breach Candy Hospital after suffering a cardiac arrest on Saturday. The 92-year-old icon is currently receiving treatment in the hospital’s Emergency Medical Services unit.

Asha Bhosle is widely regarded as one of the most influential and versatile singers in Indian music history. She began her journey at a very young age, recording her first playback song for the 1943 Marathi film Majha Bal. She later made her Bollywood debut with the song “Sawan Aya” in the 1948 Hindi film Chunariya.

Over the decades, she has lent her voice to countless iconic songs that continue to resonate with audiences. Some of her most celebrated tracks include “Chura Liya Hai Tumne Jo Dil Ko,” “Do Lafzon Ki Hai Dil Ki Kahani,” “Kya Ghazab Karte Ho Ji,” “O Haseena Zulfonwale Jane Jahan,” and “Ye Ladka Hai Allah Kaisa Hai Diwana.” Her ability to adapt to different genres—from classical and ghazals to pop and cabaret—set her apart as a truly versatile artist.

Bhosle’s contribution to music extends beyond Hindi cinema. She has recorded songs in nearly 20 Indian and international languages, showcasing her linguistic and artistic range. In 2006, she revealed that she had recorded nearly 12,000 songs during her illustrious career spanning several decades.

Throughout her journey, she collaborated with some of the greatest music composers in the industry, including Sachin Dev Burman, R. D. Burman, O. P. Nayyar, Ilaiyaraaja, Bappi Lahiri, and A. R. Rahman, among others.

Her remarkable contributions have been recognised with numerous prestigious awards. She received the Dadasaheb Phalke Award in 2000 and was honoured with the Padma Vibhushan in 2008. Additionally, she has won seven Filmfare Awards for Best Female Playback Singer, along with a Lifetime Achievement Award.

Apart from singing, Asha Bhosle also explored acting and appeared in the Marathi film Mai in 2013. She is also known for her passion for cooking, which remains one of her personal interests beyond music.

As she undergoes treatment, admirers across generations are hoping for her speedy recovery.
