Asha Bhosle was honoured at the Rising India-She Shakti by President Droupadi Murmu. She also sang two of her hit songs.
Asha Bhosle was honoured at CNN ’s Rising India-She Shakti conclave in New Delhi by the President of India, Droupadi Murmu. The legendary singer was honoured for her illustrious contributions to the field of music. Not only did the President present her with a memento but also requested her to sing a song for her. Bhosle gracefully accepted and sang the song Radha Kaise Na Jale from the film Lagaan.
When the President requested her to sing a song of her choice, Bhosle sang her hit 70s song Chura Liya Hai Tumne Jo Dil Ko. The song was from the film Yaadon Ki Baaraat (1973). The song was not only a massive hit but it also took Bhosle’s popularity to new height. After the impromptu performance, President Murmu exchanged a few words.
