Some of her timeless hits include “Aaja Aaja Main Hoon Pyaar Tera,” “Piya Tu Ab To Aaja,” “Dum Maro Dum,” “Chura Liya Hai Tumne Jo Dil Ko,” and “In Aankhon Ki Masti.”

Her performance of “In Aankhon Ki Masti” from the film “Umrao Jaan” (1981) earned her the National Film Award for Best Female Playback Singer. Bhosle passed away at the age of 92 on April 12, following complications from a chest infection.
