The death of legendary singer Asha Bhosle on April 12 sparked tributes across the film and music industry, but actor Athiya Shetty's condolence post was met with backlash after she shared a photo of Lata Mangeshkar instead.
Athiya, daughter of Suniel Shetty, took to Instagram to pay homage to Asha Bhosle, but her post was quickly noticed by social media users who called out the error and labelled it insensitive.
The mix-up was not just a small mistake, but a lack of attention to detail, especially in such a serious moment. Athiya later deleted the post and shared a picture of Asha Bhosle to mourn her demise.
Asha Bhosle died at the age of 92 on April 12, after being admitted to the ICU of Breach Candy hospital due to cardiac and respiratory issues. She was a seven-time winner of the Filmfare Best Female Playback Singer Award and a two-time winner of the National Film Award.
The singer's family informed that Asha Bhosle's last rites will be conducted at 4 pm on Monday evening.
