Sonu Nigam, who shared a close bond with the late icon, took to social media to express his thoughts on her demise, offering a perspective of admiration rather than grief.
Speaking about her passing, Sonu said, "I am sad that she is gone, but I do not want to make it about sadness. She lived a very full life. She worked until the very end. Is this a life to cry for? Every artist dreams of a life like hers, to continue working till the very end." He added, "I too want to live long and keep my work relevant till the end, just like her. The life she lived is worth saluting. It is our good fortune that we got to spend time with her and learn from her. She was strict, but she had every right. She was our guru."
Calling her the last of an era, Sonu concluded, "They were a group of great people who defined film music. She was the last soldier standing, and now that chapter has come to an end." This reflection underscores the deep respect and inspiration that Asha Bhosle's life and career have imparted to fellow artists like Sonu, Shaan, and Anup Jalota.
This heartwarming selfie not only showcases the personal bond between these musical giants but also serves as a testament to the enduring power of music in bringing people together, transcending generations and genres in the vibrant tapestry of Indian entertainment.
