“भारतातील सर्वात ख्यातनाम आणि अष्टपैलू आवाजांपैकी एक असलेल्या आशा भोसले जी यांच्या निधनाने अतिशय दुःख झाले. त्यांच्या अनेक दशकांच्या अद्वितीय संगीत प्रवासाने आपल्या सांस्कृतिक वारशाला समृद्ध केले आणि जगभरातील असंख्य लोकांच्या मनाला स्पर्श केला. भावपूर्ण गीतांपासून ते जोशपूर्ण संगीत रचनांपर्यंत, त्यांच्या आवाजात कालातीत तेज होते. त्यांच्याशी झालेल्या संवादांच्या आठवणी मी सदैव जपून ठेवेन. त्यांच्या कुटुंबीयांना, चाहत्यांना आणि संगीतप्रेमींना माझ्या भावपूर्ण संवेदना. त्या पुढील पिढ्यांना प्रेरणा देत राहतील आणि त्यांची गाणी सदैव लोकांच्या आयुष्यात गुंजत राहतील.”
