Asha Bhosle’s stellar singing career
One of the most celebrated and popular singers in Indian music history, Asha Bhosle has been a fixture of Bollywood films for over eight decades. In that time, she has sung thousands of songs in over half a dozen Indian languages.
Over the years, she has recorded songs for films, private albums, and given live performances in India and abroad. Her contribution to music has earned her several honours and awards. Asha won the National Film Award twice and the Filmfare Award seven times.
The legendary singer has been honoured with the Dadasaheb Phalke Award. She was bestowed Padma Vibhushan, India’s second-highest civilian honour, in 2008. The singer’s stature in Indian music is only rivalled by her elder sister, the late Lata Mangeshkar, a singing legend in her own right.
Her journey in music began in 1943, and she went on to become one of the most successful singers in Hindi cinema. In 2011, the Guinness Book of World Records recognised her as the most-recorded artist in music history.
