Former Australian fast bowler Brett Lee has shared a moving tribute to legendary Indian playback singer Asha Bhosle following the news of her passing. Taking to social media, Lee recalled his cherished memories of working with the music icon, emphasizing her grace and humility.
The duo famously collaborated in 2006 on the chart-topping song “You’re the One for Me,” a track that showcased a rare bridge between the worlds of international cricket and Indian music.
Reflecting on their time together in the studio, Lee expressed that while her talent was undeniable, it was her character that left the most lasting impression on him.
“I had the pleasure of writing and recording ‘You’re the One for Me’ with Asha Bhosle back in 2006. It’s something I’ll always be incredibly grateful for,” Lee wrote. “What stayed with me most wasn’t just her extraordinary talent, but how kind and humble she was. For someone who had achieved so much in her life, she carried herself with such warmth and generosity.”
Lee concluded his message by offering condolences to her loved ones and acknowledging the void her departure leaves in the global music industry.
The 2006 collaboration remains a fan favorite, remembered not just for its catchy melody but for the genuine friendship that blossomed between the Australian cricketer and the legendary singer. Lee’s tribute echoes the sentiments of millions worldwide who are mourning the loss of a true cultural titan.

As the golden Kanikonna blooms across the landscape of Kerala, it heralds the arrival of Vishu, the Malayalam New Year. This festival, celebrated with immense devotion and joy, marks the beginning of the Medam month in the Malayalam calendar. In 2026, Vishu falls on Wednesday, April 15, bringing with it the promise of prosperity, light, and new beginnings.
Vishu is more than just a calendar change; it is an astronomical event marking the Sun’s transit into the zodiac sign of Aries (Mesha Rashi). In Sanskrit, “Vishu” means “equal,” representing the spring equinox where day and night are of equal duration.
For Malayalis, the day is defined by the Vishukkani—the first sight seen upon waking. It is believed that a beautiful and auspicious Kani ensures a year filled with abundance and success.

The Instagram account of popular Kerala-based digital creator Ashwani A, widely known online by her handle “Purple Halcyon,” is currently inaccessible, leaving fans and followers puzzled. The profile, which recently garnered widespread attention for its massive growth, has completely vanished from Instagram search results, and external links to the page are showing as unavailable.
Before its sudden disappearance, the Purple Halcyon account reportedly boasted over 285,000 followers and featured more than 100 posts. Ashwani A had built a strong online presence focusing on fashion, travel, and lifestyle content. Notably, she had shifted away from traditional brand collaborations to heavily utilize Instagram’s subscription feature.
The account’s disappearance comes closely on the heels of a major milestone for the creator. She recently reported crossing 25,000 paid subscribers on Instagram—a direct-monetization model that allowed paying followers exclusive access to special stories, reels, and posts. Her success with this subscription-based income had made her one of the most talked-about creators in the segment.
Currently, it remains unclear exactly what led to the profile’s removal. Some believe the account was reported by many users, while others think it might have been deactivated by the creator herself due to legal issues and online harassment she was facing. In the wake of the account’s disappearance, several lookalike profiles, such as “Purple Halcyon 2,” have surfaced using her display picture, though none have been verified as authentic.
Additionally, reports indicate that Ashwani A’s YouTube channel, where she regularly shared short-form video content, is also no longer visible in search results. Despite the sudden wipe of her official pages, fragments of her content continue to circulate across social media via fan reposts and hashtags.
Ashwani A is no stranger to the spotlight or online scrutiny. She has previously been in the news due to controversies and disputes surrounding her reels. Just recently, she stated she was pursuing legal action against individuals who she alleged were spreading false information and targeting her online.
As of April 12, Instagram’s link for instagram.com/purplehalcyon returns “Profile isn’t available. The link may be broken, or the profile may have been removed.” The message is identical whether an account is deactivated by the user, deleted, renamed, or disabled by Meta, and the platform does not specify the reason.
No official statement has been issued by Ashwani A or Meta regarding the status of the account. There have been no confirmed reports of a new handle or a permanent ban as of publication time.
MUMBAI: Veteran playback singer Asha Bhosle, 92, has been admitted to Breach Candy Hospital in South Mumbai after experiencing severe exhaustion and a chest infection.
Addressing the widespread rumors suggesting the singer had suffered a heart attack, her granddaughter, Zanai Bhosle, took to X (formerly Twitter) to issue a clarification. She confirmed that the music icon was hospitalized primarily due to a chest infection and fatigue, strictly denying the reports of a cardiac event.
“She is under the careful observation of doctors and is doing fine. We request everyone to respect our family’s privacy during this time. We will share further updates soon,” Zanai stated in her post. Medical sources currently indicate that her condition is stable and there is no cause for major concern.
With a monumental career spanning over eight decades, Asha Bhosle remains one of the most celebrated and versatile voices in Indian cinema. She made her playback singing debut in a 1943 Marathi film and has since recorded thousands of memorable tracks across various Indian languages, including Hindi, Marathi, Bengali, and Malayalam.
In recognition of her unparalleled contribution to the music industry, the Government of India honored her with the Dadasaheb Phalke Award in 2000 and the Padma Vibhushan, the country’s second-highest civilian award, in 2008.
Fans, well-wishers, and members of the music fraternity across the globe are sending in their prayers for the legendary singer’s speedy recovery.
