Asha Bhosle is a playback singer whose voice has grown softer and more melodic with time. The seasoned singer turned 88 recently, but to this melody queen, age is just a number. Asha taai, as her adoring admirers prefer to call her, was born on September 8, 1933, and she has left us with musical treasures, including catchy film songs, pop songs, qawwalis, folk songs, and even Rabindra sangeets. She has given us chills with her heartbreaking ghazals, just as she has astonished her admirers with wild and sparkling cabaret acts. Karisma Kapoor in Dil Toh Pagal Hai could benefit from her playback singing if she could go for Sadhana.

What has so far best characterized her as a singer is her variety. We would like to congratulate the multifaceted vocalist for bringing melody into our lives on a daily basis for as long as we can remember on the occasion of her birthday today. Five of the singer’s timeless classics are presented to you as a way to honor her on this unique occasion. These songs will inspire you to put everything aside and listen to them repeatedly.

Aaiye Meherbaan

Aaiye Meherbaan is unquestionably one of the greatest chart-busters that the late music director OP Nayyar and singer Asha Bhosle gave us in the past. The song, which features Ashok Kumar and Madhubala, never gets old and will always be one of our favorites.

Aao Huzoor Tumko Sitaron Mein Le Chaloo

Asha Bhosle recorded Aao Huzoor Tumko Sitaaron Mein, one of the three well-known songs from the 1968 film “Kismat,” which was directed by Manmohan Desai. Composer O.P. Nayyar, who is well known, is the creator of this great song. Although OP Nayyar and Asha Bhosle’s previous collaborations produced several chart-topping songs, this one stands the test of time.

Piya Tu Ab Toh Aaja

The song is famous for Asha Bhosle’s vibrant vocals as well as Helen’s amazing dance routines. We sincerely believe that Ashaji’s vocals are the reason the song was as successful as it was back then. Additionally, Asha Bhosle received a Filmfare Award for Best Female Singer for the song.

Chura Liya Hai Tumne Jo Dil Ko

This timeless song was created by Asha Bhosale’s melodic voice and RD Burman’s excellent tune. She won many admirers with this specific song.

Hungama Ho Gaya

This song, which features former actress Bindu, was written by the Laxmikant Pyarelal music director team about forty years ago. Its youthful composition, however, also appeals to the younger generation of today. In other words, the tune is still relevant today because of Asha Bhosle’s timeless and youthful voice. Maybe for that reason, in 2014, music director Amit Trivedi remade this song for the Kangana Ranaut-starring movie Queen.
