The atmosphere in Mumbai was sad and gloomy as Mumbaikars bid an emotional final goodbye to their beloved veteran singer Asha Bhosle. The legendary singer passed away on Sunday, April 12, at Breach Candy Hospital after suffering multiple organ failure, a day after she was hospitalised due to a chest infection and exhaustion. Her mortal remains were brought to her residence at Casa Grande in Lower Parel, where family members, close friends, and several prominent figures from the film and political fraternity gathered to pay their final respects on Monday.

Asha's last rites were performed at Shivaji Park Crematorium by her son, Anand Bhosle,in the presence of several celebrities, musicians, and politicians who gathered to bid her an emotional farewell.

The Maharashtra government accorded the veteran singer a state funeral, a tribute reserved for those who have made monumental contributions to the nation. The ceremony mirrored the farewell given to her elder sister, the late Lata Mangeshkar, at the same historic ground.
