Asha last lent her voice for the 2017 Bollywood film Begum Jaan, with the song Prem mein tohre, which was picturised on Vidya Balan.
Bhosle, the first-ever Indian artiste to be nominated for a Grammy Award, earlier had said that although she sings these days, she missed the golden old days when she worked with iconic music directors such as OP Nayyar, RD Burman, Khayyam and Madan Mohan among many others.
"I still record songs, but for me, things are not as glorious as they used to be. Those days, those people," Asha said in an earlier interview.
Bhosle has been a recipient of the Dadasaheb Phalke Award in 2000 and the Padma Vibhushan in 2008.
