Beloved Actor Asrani's Quiet Farewell: Family Honors His Wish for Private Funeral

On 2025-10-21T08:16:01+00:00, the entertainment world mourned the loss of veteran actor and comedian Asrani, who passed away recently. Asrani, known for his memorable roles in films like 'Sholay', had left an indelible mark on Hindi cinema through his impeccable screen presence and comedic timing.

According to Asrani's family, the actor's wish was to have a quiet farewell. His last rites were held at the Santacruz crematorium on 2025-10-19 at 8 pm, attended only by his close family and friends. Asrani's manager, Babubhai Thiba, shared that they did not inform anyone about his demise as per the actor's desire to keep the funeral a private affair.

Interestingly, this is not the first time a celebrity has chosen to have a private last rite. Earlier, veteran actress Tabassum had also expressed the same wish, and her death news was made public only after her final rites were performed.

In a poignant final gesture, Asrani had shared a Diwali greeting on his social media just hours before his passing, leaving a lasting impression on his fans. The news of his demise came as a shock, especially since there had been fake reports of his death circulating earlier. However, with the manager's statement, tributes began pouring in to honor the legendary actor's legacy.
