Legendary singer Asha Bhosle's death on April 12 left the industry in shock. Singer Talat Aziz recalled his last conversation with Asha Bhosle, revealing she was singing despite being ill.
Talat Aziz shared a special bond with the late singer and recalled a warm chat just days before her passing. He received a video call from Asha Bhosle three days before leaving for Mauritius on April 3, where she said she wasn't feeling well.
She told him, 'Do one thing, when you return from Mauritius, come and meet me and we'll sit and talk.' But fate had other plans. Talat Aziz returned around April 9 or 10, and on April 11, he found out that she was unwell.
On April 12, he spoke to Asha's daughter-in-law, Anjula, who told him that the singer was critical. The next thing he received was the sad news of Asha's demise.
Asha Bhosle passed away at the age of 92, after being admitted to the hospital a day earlier due to cardiac and respiratory issues. Her death came as a shock to the entire film and music industry.
Her last rites were held on Monday, with numerous celebrities paying their final tributes. Her casket was adorned with white lilies and wrapped in the tricolour at her home, and she was given a gun salute by the Mumbai Police at the crematorium.
