Legendary singer Asha Bhosle passed away on April 12, 2026, at the age of 92 at Breach Candy Hospital in Mumbai. The Padma Vibhushan awardee had been admitted to the hospital after experiencing pulmonary issues, subsequently diagnosed with a chest infection, which led to her death the following day.
Tributes have been flowing in since her passing, with a particular video gaining viral attention. The footage features Asha Bhosle enjoying the 2023 World Cup final between India and Australia at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, alongside Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan.
In the video, Khan is seen sitting between Asha Bhosle and BCCI Secretary Jay Shah, with Gauri Khan next to him. The clip captures a light-hearted moment where Khan insists on taking an empty cup from Bhosle, despite her gestures for him to stop. He ultimately gets up to snatch the cup away, only for another individual to intervene and take the cup from the renowned singer.
This interaction received significant appreciation at the time, with industrialist Harsh Goenka sharing the video on social media, captioning it, “The only heartwarming scene I have seen in the IND vs AUS final.”
In tribute, Shah Rukh Khan posted a heartfelt message following Bhosle’s death. He shared a picture with her, stating, “It’s truly sad to learn about Asha Tai’s passing. Her voice has been one of the pillars of Indian cinema and will continue to resonate worldwide for centuries to come. A talent that will outlive many, she always showered me with blessings and love, and I will miss her. Rest in peace, Asha Tai. Love you.”
Additionally, Bhosle’s last Instagram post read, “Aapki aur sirf aapki Asha.”
