Mumbai Live wishes the queen of melody Asha Bhosle a very Happy Birthday!
The evergreen singer Asha Bhosle has been singing for nearly seven decades now. She has also added a feather in her cap by entering the Guinness Book of World Records for recording over 11,000 songs in 20 different languages. She was also honoured with the Dadasaheb Phalke Award in 2000 and the Padma Vibhushan in 2008.
