Pandit Hridaynath Mangeshkar announces Asia’s largest hospital in tribute to his sisters Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhosle

In a heartfelt tribute to the legendary singers Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhosle, their brother, music composer Pandit Hridaynath Mangeshkar, has announced the construction of what is set to be Asia’s biggest hospital.

The project, which was originally conceived as a memorial to Lata Mangeshkar (affectionately called “Didi”), will now honour both sisters following Asha Bhosle’s recent passing on April 12, 2026, at the age of 92. The hospital is likely to be named either the ‘Lata-Asha Institute of Medical Sciences’ or ‘Lata-Asha Mangeshkar Ayurvidhya Sansthan’.

Hridaynath Mangeshkar shared the news while speaking to the media, saying, “We are trying that this should be the biggest hospital in Asia. We have taken quite a big land, rest it up to God.” He added that the idea took root 25 years ago and gained fresh momentum after Lata Mangeshkar’s demise, inspired by her vision of service.

The hospital will come up in Pune, Maharashtra, on a substantial plot of land—earlier reports mentioned around 40 acres. It aims to offer advanced medical facilities and may incorporate elements of Ayurvedic sciences, depending on the final name. While exact details on bed capacity and services are still being finalised, the family hopes it will become a landmark healthcare institution serving people on a large scale.

The decision comes shortly after Asha Bhosle’s last rites were performed in Mumbai on April 13, 2026, with several film personalities paying their respects. The Mangeshkar family is also planning a separate museum to preserve and showcase the sisters’ rich musical heritage, complete with interactive experiences for music lovers.

Hridaynath Mangeshkar expressed confidence that the project would move forward with divine blessings. More specifics about the hospital’s design, timeline, and inauguration are expected in the coming months.

This initiative reflects the Mangeshkar family’s desire to extend the sisters’ legacy of touching millions of lives—through music in the past, and now through healthcare.
