Karan Aujla's Heartfelt Tribute

Punjabi singer Karan Aujla paid tribute to legendary singer Asha Bhosle at his Mumbai show on Sunday evening. Aujla paused his show right before he zoomed the arena on a zipline to pay a tribute to Asha Bhosle by marking a moment of silence followed by a retrospective mash-up featuring 15 of her timeless singles, including Piya Tu Ab To Aaja, Dum Maro Dum, Chura Liya Hai Tumne Jo Dil, Yeh Mera Dil, O Haseena Zulfonwale, amongst others.

The gesture carried profound emotional weight as news of her passing at the age of 92 in Mumbai emerged the same day. Notably, Asha Bhosle performed last on stage in 2024, where she crooned Aujla's blockbuster 'Tauba Tauba'. She also recreated Vicky Kaushal's viral hook step.
