Legendary playback singer Alka Yagnik, greatest identified for her chartbusters ‘Ek Do Teen’, ‘Tip Tip Barsa Pani’, and ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’, was conferred with the Padma Bhushan, India’s third-highest civilian honour, in recognition of her monumental, four-decade-long profession and contribution to Indian music. “This honour is deeply humbling, and whereas my identify could also be on it, it belongs simply as a lot to each listener who welcomed my voice into their lives, carried my songs via generations, and stood by me via each the highs and the challenges,” the singer stated in an announcement upon receiving the distinguished honour.
