Dia further highlighted, “She was gentle, deeply kind, generous in ways that felt effortless, and so full of warmth. She went on to include me in many of her programmes while I was trying to find my voice.”
She added, “The world celebrates Asha Bhosle ji for her astonishing versatility - for the way she could inhabit any song, any emotion, with such truth. But to have known her, even briefly, is to understand that she was all of that and more. Melodic yet fierce, tender yet formidable… a woman who didn’t just walk her own path, but widened it for so many who would follow.”
The actress further called the singer as generous and ever supportive.
She wrote, “To witness her grace, her discipline, her joy in creation - was to witness greatness, gently worn. Ever generous, ever supportive Her thousands of songs - and the boundless force of her love - will outlive us all. Her art, her spirit, her legacy... they will continue to breathe through time.
Love and gratitude, always, Asha Tai.”
