Actress Athiya Shetty faced significant online backlash for a social media error made while mourning the death of legendary singer Asha Bhosle. On Sunday, April 12, 2026, Shetty mistakenly shared a photo of Lata Mangeshkar in her Instagram Story, instead of Asha Bhosle.

Many users expressed their disappointment, with some calling the actress careless and lacking attention to detail during such a sensitive time.
Separately, a doctor confirmed Asha Bhosle's cause of death was multi-organ failure due to multiple health complications. Her last rites were scheduled for Monday at Shivaji Park in Mumbai.
