Deepali Shah Joshi was an aspiring singer who had a dream to become a singer in films. But she remained to sing on stages and shows in the national and international level and maintained her popularity at stage level only. She has passed away when she was travelling to Dubai to participate in a stage show. She had hoped to come back to Mumbai to sing for Dinanath programme, but her wish remained unfulfilled as she had died. Deepali Shah Joshi was an upcoming stage singer, who had sung for stages that could mean paying tribute to legendary playback singers of yesteryear. She used to perform in many national and international concerts and thus had caught the attention of music director Khayyam in Awaz Ki Duiniya Show. She hailed from the Dharwad region of Karnataka. Inspired by singers like Lata Mangshkar and
Asha Bhosle
, she had given countless performances across India and abroad. She had performed in musical stages at Washington DC and
New York
, which fetched her recognition as a versatile singer. She then brought out numerous music albums and videos. She is survived by husband

She died in a road accident in Kuwait, when she was travelling by road from the Kuwait airport to reach the venue. And truly, this singing talent had vanished away from the industry and even the world, leaving her inspiration to become a film singer or even a voice that became so popular with audiences, who used to enthrall the audiences to melodious tunes of yesteryear songs, sung by legendary singers like
Lata Mangeshkar
, Asha Bhosle or even
Geeta Dutt
. It is true, we find many singers who still sings songs of not Lata or Asha but even Chitra, P Susheela or S Janakai. But as this singer had to sing Hindi songs for international Hindi audiences, she chose mainly Hindi compositions sung by Lata and Asha. Otherwise, Deepali Shah was born in Bengaluru and had undertaken classical music training in Karnataka only.
