Legendary playback singer Asha Bhosle has passed away, and her son Anand Bhosle has confirmed that her last rites will be held in Mumbai on 13 April 2026. In a statement issued on 12 April, Anand Bhosle said, “My mother passed away today. People can pay their last respects to her at 11 am tomorrow at Casa Grande, Lower Parel, where she lived. Her last rites will be performed at 4 pm tomorrow at Shivaji Park.” The announcement provides a clear schedule for admirers and family members to participate in the farewell ceremonies.
Asha Bhosle, who was in her 90s, had been admitted to Mumbai’s Breach Candy Hospital on 11 April following a cardiac and respiratory emergency. Open‑source medical and official‑style statements indicate that she was treated in the emergency and intensive‑care units overnight but could not be revived. The Maharashtra government and cultural authorities have described her passing as the end of a defining era in Indian music, noting that her voice shaped multiple generations of Hindi, Marathi and regional‑language film‑songs.
Anand Bhosle’s details place the residence ceremony at Casa Grande in Lower Parel from 11 am, allowing fans, colleagues and public figures to pay homage before the funeral‑cortège moves to Shivaji Park. The 4 pm last‑rites timing at the landmark Maidan will bring together citizens, artists and political figures in a mass tribute to one of India’s most prolific playback singers. The family has requested the public to follow the announced schedule and maintain order while paying respects.
