Before Asha’s death, Zanai posted a picture with her and confirmed that she has been hospitalised. She wrote, “My grandmother, Asha Bhosle due to extreme exhaustion and suffering a chest infection has been admitted to hospital and we request you to value our privacy. Treatment is ongoing and hopefully everything will be well and we shall update you positively.”
After Asha’s funeral was held on Monday, Zanai posted a video on her Instagram, writing, “As I wake up this morning, I realise I have lost my partner in crime, my best friend, 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 every day when I come home or who am I supposed to crack lame jokes with.” She also looked heartbroken at Asha’s funeral and was consoled by Tabu.
