Mumbai, April 12: Legendary playback singer Asha Bhosle’s son Anand Bhosle has shared that the last respects will be held at her residence in Lower Parel.

Speaking to the media, he said, “My mother passed away today. People can pay their last respects to her at 11:00 am tomorrow at Casa Grande, Lower Parel, where she lived. Her last rites will be performed at 4 pm tomorrow at Shivaji Park”.

Her elder sister, Lata Mangeshkar, who was a Bharat Ratna awardee was also cremated at the Shivaji Park in 2022.

Asha Bhosle passed away at the age of 93 in Mumbai on Sunday. The singer was admitted to the Breach Candy Hospital on Saturday. Ashish Shelar, the Culture Minister of Maharashtra made the announcement outside the hospital. Her last rites will be held at Shivaji Park on Monday at 4:00 pm.

One of the most influential singers of her time, Asha Bhosle, sang her first song as a playback for the 1943 Marathi drama ‘Majha Bal’. She is known for lending her voice to some noteworthy numbers such as ‘Chura Liya Hai Tumne Jo Dil Ko’, ‘Do Lafzon Ki Hai Dil Ki Kahani’, ‘Kya Ghazab Karte Ho Ji’, ‘O Haseena Zulfonwale Jane Jahan’, and ‘Ye Ladka Hay Allah Kaisa Hai Diwana’, to name just a few. Along with Hindi, she has sung in around 20 Indian and foreign languages.

In 2006, Asha Bhosle herself disclosed that she has almost 12,000 songs to her credit. During her tenure as a singer spanning several decades, Asha Bhosle has worked with many acclaimed music composers such as Shankar-Jaikishan, RD Burman, OP Nayyar, Ilaiyaraaja, Bappi Lahiri, and AR Rahman. She received numerous awards throughout her career for many of her noteworthy songs. The singer was given the prestigious Dadasaheb Phalke Award back in 2000, followed by a Padma Vibhushan in 2008.

Mumbai: A breakthrough has emerged in the investigation into the firing incident outside filmmaker Rohit Shetty’s residence in Mumbai, with Crime Branch sources indicating that the attack was financed entirely through hawala channels.

According to investigators, the accused involved in recruiting the shooters, identified as Golu Pandit, received funds via an illegal hawala network rather than through formal banking systems. The money was allegedly routed through multiple locations, including Nepal, Delhi, and Uttar Pradesh.

Sources further revealed that the financial operations were orchestrated by Arju Bishnoi, an operator linked to the Bishnoi gang. The gang reportedly used its network to channel funds and execute the plan.

Golu Pandit is said to have played a crucial role in the conspiracy. He not only recruited the shooters but also arranged shelter, logistics, and other support required for carrying out the attack. Preliminary findings suggest that the incident was not spontaneous, but the result of a well-planned operation executed over a period of time.

‘Maintain Silence’ Instructions Before Arrest : Crime Branch sources also disclosed that Golu Pandit had been instructed in advance to remain silent if apprehended by the police. Following the arrest of shooters in Haryana, the gang anticipated that Pandit could be the next target of law enforcement action.

It is alleged that jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi conveyed a message through Arju Bishnoi, directing Golu Pandit not to reveal any information about other members of the syndicate under any circumstances. As a result, despite nearly 12 days of police custody, investigators have reportedly been unable to extract significant additional information from him.

Ranveer Singh starrer Dhurandhar The Revenge, in just nine days, has entered the Rs. 700 crore club. The film took a fantastic opening and had an amazing first extended weekend. Even on weekdays, it performed very well, and although it showed a drop in collections on its second Friday, the movie has still collected a very good amount.

According to Sacnilk, on its ninth day, Dhurandhar 2 collected Rs. 41.55 crore, taking the total to Rs. 715.72 crore, which is an exceptional amount. The Aditya Dhar directorial has already left films like Jawan, Chhaava, Stree 2, and others behind at the box office in just a few days.

Its next aim is to cross the lifetime collection of SS Rajamouli’s RRR, which had collected Rs. 782.20 crore. Currently, Dhurandhar 2 is at the sixth position when it comes to the highest-grossing Indian film, and at the second spot when it comes to the highest-grossing Hindi film.

Dhurandhar part 1 had collected Rs. 840 crore, and it is the highest-grossing Hindi film till now. It is expected that Dhurandhar 2 will surpass the lifetime collection of Dhurandhar 1 and become the highest-grossing Bollywood film to date.

Dhurandhar 2 Rs. 1000 Crore Club

When it comes to the worldwide gross box office collection, Dhurandhar 2 has already crossed the Rs. 1000 crore mark. It has collected Rs. 1,128.99 gross worldwide.

However, the trade is expecting that the Ranveer Singh starrer will mint more than Rs. 1000 crore net at the box office in India.

Will Dhurandhar 2 Beat Pushpa 2?

Till now, Aalu Arjun starrer Pushpa 2 The Rule is the highest-grossing Indian film if we look at the net collection in India. The film had minted Rs. 1,234.10 crore at the box office. So, let’s wait and watch whether Dhurandhar 2 will be able to beat Pushpa 2 or not.
