Over the past several days, Asha Bhosle has been busy rehearsing for her upcoming show in the city. However, the legendary singer took a break on Sunday to attend to more important matters — after all, sister Lata Mangeshkar was returning to Prabhu Kunj, their Pedder Road residence, after a month-long treatment at Breach Candy Hospital.

"We were all there for her homecoming," begins Bhosle, her face wearing an expression of relief and joy. On November 11, Mangeshkar was rushed to the city hospital after she complained of breathing problem. The legend's innumerable fans across the country joined the family in praying for her well-being as she battled pneumonia. Glad that the testing times are behind her, Bhosle says, "She is back and we are overjoyed. She is looking hale and hearty. I was looking at her last night, and at once, so many songs that she has made immortal with her voice came back rushing to me."
