"India's nightingale" for her melodious renditions
spanning six decades and has the unique distinction of
having sung nearly 12,000 songs mainly in Hindi and also
various other Indian languages.
Bhonsale said, "I am feeling very good on receiving the
award but it has been given too late because I was born
in 1933 and I have been singing for the last 56 years. I
sang my first song in 1943 and I have got this award now.
But they have remembered me and that is a lot." The
cinema award is named in memory of renowned producer and
