Anupam Kher visits Asha Bhosle's house: I could almost hear her humming
Mumbai, April 18
Veteran actor Anupam Kher visited late singer Asha Bhosle's house on Saturday to pay his tribute to the legend.
Sharing his experience in his own words, Kher revealed that while there was a deep silence in the place, he could almost hear Asha Ji humming.
Sharing a photo with Asha Bhosle's son, Anand Bhosle, and her granddaughter, Zanai Bhosle, Kher wrote on the photo-sharing app, "SOUND OF SILENCE!! Visited Asha Ji's home today to pay my tribute to the Legendary singer! There was a deep silence in the house... the kind that speaks. And yet, somewhere in that stillness, I could almost hear her humming... her voice lingering in every corner, every memory. Met her son Anand, daughter-in-law Anuja, and her granddaughter and best friend #ZanaiBhosle. Warm, gracious... carrying her legacy with quiet strength. (sic)".
Kher claimed that visits like these not only make you mourn but also end up healing you.
"Sometimes, such visits don't just make you mourn... they heal you, even if only for a moment. I left in silence...But with her songs playing softly in my heart.! Long Live Asha Ji! Jai Ho!," concluded the post.
For those who do not know, Asha Bhosle passed away on April 12 after facing multi-organ failure.
She was admitted to the Breach Candy hospital in Mumbai on April 11 due to severe exhaustion and chest infection, as informed by Zanai through a social media post.
Earlier today, Zanai revealed that she has been feeling a strong presence of her grandmother for the last few days.
"After much reflection, I realise I could never lose you, because truly you live within me, in my heart, in my body and in my soul. Your teachings will guide me through my life and you will watch me just as your strong presence has been felt during the last couple of days.. I love you," penned Zanai.

"The kind of silence that speaks." What a powerful line. It's heartwarming to see our film fraternity come together in such moments of loss. Her legacy is in safe hands with her family.
While the sentiment is nice, I sometimes feel these personal moments of grief and family mourning are turned into social media posts for public consumption. The family's privacy is paramount.
As an admirer of Indian cinema from abroad, Asha Bhosle's voice was my gateway to this beautiful culture. Reading about Zanai feeling her presence is so moving. Legends never truly leave us.
Jai Ho, Asha Ji indeed! From "Piya Tu Ab To Aaja" to "Dum Maro Dum", her range was unbelievable. Her voice will keep humming in the hearts of millions of Indians forever. A true Bharat Ratna in every sense.
My mother used to play her cassettes every morning. Reading this brought back so many memories. It's true, such visits heal. Thank you, Anupam sir, for sharing this. Strength to the Bhosle family. ❤️
