Bhosle, a Padma Vibhushan and Maharashtra Bhushan awardee, died at the age of 92 at a private hospital in Mumbai earlier in the day after multiple organ failure.
In a post on X, Patel said, “The demise of iconic ‘Soor Samrajni’ singer Asha Bhosle ji is extremely heartbreaking. With her energetic and versatile singing, she enriched the world of music and left an indelible mark on the hearts of generations through countless timeless songs.”
He said that Bhosle’s unparalleled contribution to music will always be remembered and her voice will remain alive among people.
He wrote: “Her passing represents the end of an era in the world of film music, but her voice will always remain alive among us.”
The Prime Minister prayed for peace for the deceased’s soul and strength for her family members and countless fans to bear the loss.
Deputy Chief Minister Harsh Sanghavi also paid tribute to the legendary singer on social media.
“It was not just a voice… it was an era. Every song is full of emotion, every note is imbued with magic. Asha Bhosle ji didn’t just sing the music, she lived it,” Sanghavi wrote.
He further noted that artists of Bosley’s stature have never said goodbye, as they continue to live on forever through their tunes and the memories they create for generations of listeners.
“The news of the passing away of the Empress of Melody of the music world, the revered Asha Bhosle ji, is extremely heartbreaking and soul-crushing,” Union Jal Shakti Minister CR Patel wrote.
Bhosle’s melodious voice elevated Indian music to new heights for decades and left an indelible mark in the hearts of millions, Patel said, adding that she was not just a singer but a living embodiment of Indian culture.
