Mumbai, Sep 8: Veteran singer Sudesh Bhosale paid an emotional tribute to legendary singer Asha Bhosle on her 93rd birth anniversary, recalling their musical association and expressing how deeply he continues to miss her.

Taking to Instagram, Bhosale affectionately addressed the late singer as "Asha Aai" and said her blessings and guidance remain a source of strength for him.
