Shankar Mahadevan's Emotional Tribute
In a video message, Mahadevan said, "A very sad day for all of us and a very sad day for Indian music. I cannot believe that our dearest Asha Tayi is no more. I am not able to express my sorrow and what I am feeling right now, as a musician, as didi's worshipper, as a very close family friend and looking up to her like Maa Saraswati."
Describing her musical legacy as immortal, he added, "I am sure that every single Indian is heartbroken. But didi and her music will never ever perish from the face of the earth till humans exist. Because her contribution cannot be described in words. She is somebody who is going to live forever and going to be there on our phone, on TV, on every single medium where music plays. She is going to be there with us, with her amazing voice resounding all over the planet. At this moment, we are all grief-stricken; we are all heartbroken. Let's all pray that she is in a better place and keeps blessing us and sending us her positive and enthusiastic energy that she used to always share with us..."
