Fake news stirs up fans
Yesterday, a shocking Facebook post claimed that legendary singer Asha Bhosle had passed away, sending social media into a tizzy of concern.
Shared by a user named Shabana Shaikh, the post carried a disturbing photo of the beloved singer, showing a garland around her neck—a traditional symbol of mourning in Indian culture.
Son’s quick response
The singer’s son Anand Bhosle, immediately stepped in to put a stop to these rumours.
When contacted by ETimes about the viral post, his response was brief but crystal clear: “This is not true.”
These two simple words brought great relief to fans around the world who were upset by the false news.
Disturbing fake news
The fake post that sparked panic not only included a manipulated photo but also a caption that claimed, “Legendary singer Asha Bhosle passed away at a musical age (01 July 2025).”
This deliberately misleading information spread rapidly before being debunked.
Recently seen and active
Contrary to the false claims, Asha Bhosle was recently spotted at the re-release premiere of the classic film “Umraojaan”, starring Rekha in the lead role.
She arrived at the event with her granddaughter Zanai Bhosle and looked vibrant and active.
Still singing at 96
A heartwarming video from the same event shows that the legendary singer has not lost her art.
The attendees got to experience a spontaneous performance when she sang the iconic song “Dil Cheez Kya Hai”, while Rekha and director Muzzafar joined her for this special moment.
A living legend
At the age of 96, Asha Bhosle remains one of India’s most loved artists.
Her golden era spanned from the 1950s to the 1970s, but her influence on Indian music has never waned.
Timeless hits like “Dum Maaro Dum,” “Chura Liya Hai Tumne,” “Yeh Mera Dil,” and “Piya Tu Ab To Aaja” still enchant listeners across generations.
Honoured Career
Her extraordinary eight-decade career has seen her record songs in several Indian languages, earning her the prestigious Dadasaheb Phalke Award in 2000 and the Padma Vibhushan in 2008—India’s two highest honours.
This is not the first time a celebrity has fallen prey to death rumours on social media, but fans can rest assured that the Cuckoo of India is still gracing us with her presence and occasional melodious tunes.
