Asha Bhosle’s antim visarjan ritual was carried out by her son, Anand, and other close family members were also there. Zanai broke down when the antim-visarjan rituals were taking place. As seen in the video, Asha’s son, Anand, on the guidance of the pandit, immerses the ashes in the Ganga. The pandit could be heard saying, ‘Om shanti’. Zanai, who had worn a simple salwar kameez, was seen visibly emotional and cried a river when she performed the ritual.

Asha Bhosle’s granddaughter, Zanai, was seen holding flowers on a plate and following the traditional Hindu custom of placing her grandmother’s ashes in the river Ganga. Zanai fulfilled her grandmother’s last wish. Zanai has been dealing with the loss of her grandmother and had earlier shared about how she felt. She started off her post with losing her best friend and the first person who held her when she was born. In her words:

“As I wake up this morning, I realise I have lost my partner in crime, my bestfriend, a person who completed my entire world and the first person to hold me when I was born. What do I do now? Who am I supposed to wake up and give a hug to in the morning and have chai with? Who’s going to be waiting for me everyday when I come home or who am I supposed to crack lame jokes with.”

Zanai continued that these are just a few things to remember about her grandmother, Asha. Zanai revealed that her post was for those who have felt this loss with her. She wants the fans of Asha to remember that the singer was and is the definition of life and laughter. She wants Asha’s fans to always remember her in that way. Zanai further added that her grandmother will again come back to her and said:

“She’s looking down on us all, especially her family and I believe she’s going to comeback to me very soon, because that is what she promised me and told me always!! I have lost the love of my life and there is no bigger grief in the world so I urge you guys to live life to your fullest and celebrate her that way and celebrate her life!”
