Legendary singer Asha Bhosle breathed her last at a Mumbai hospital on Sunday at the age of 92. Tributes have poured in across social media platforms as the news broke in the afternoon. Family members said she was admitted to Breach Candy Hospital last night due to chest infection and exhaustion. 

“It is sad news that Asha Bhosle has passed away today. She was suffering from multiple medical complications and died due to multi-organ failure,” Dr Pratit Samdani told IANS.

“My grandmother, Asha Bhosle due to extreme exhaustion and suffering a chest infection, has been admitted to the hospital, and we request you to value our privacy. Treatment is ongoing, and hopefully everything will be well, and we shall update you positively,” her granddaughter Zanai Bhosle had shared in a social media post earlier today.
