In a heartfelt gesture following the passing of legendary playback singer Asha Bhosle, Karan Johar‘s production house has postponed the release of the title track of its upcoming film ‘Chand Mera Dil’ by one day. The song, featuring Ananya Panday and Lakshya, was originally scheduled to drop on April 13, the same day as Asha Bhosle’s last rites in Mumbai.
‘Chand Mera Dil’ title track release postponed
The production house announced the postponement shortly after news of Asha Bhosle’s passing broke, citing the timing of her funeral as the key reason. Rather than proceed with a promotional release on a day of national mourning for one of India’s greatest musical voices, Dharma chose to step back as a mark of respect.
In an official statement, the production house said, “In honour of a legacy that has shaped generations, and with deep respect for the passing of the legendary Asha Bhosle, we are pushing the release of the Chand Mera Dil title track by a day. This decision has been made as a mark of heartfelt respect and remembrance for Asha Bhosle, whose lasting impact on music continues to inspire generations.”
Asha Bhosle passes away
Asha Bhosle passed away at the age of 92 after being admitted to Breach Candy Hospital in Mumbai following cardiac and respiratory complications. Reports indicate she had not been in good health for several months prior. She was brought to the hospital in a critical condition and was shifted to the intensive care unit on Saturday night before passing away on Sunday afternoon. Her family later confirmed that her last rites would be held the following day in Mumbai.See More: Asha Bhosle Passes Away Updates
