Asha Bhosle and Lata Mangeshkar had two more sisters, Meena Khadikar and Usha Mangeshkar. They also had a brother named Hridaynath Mangeshkar. But both Asha and Late share two coincidences regarding their respective demises. Both sisters died at 92.
According to the Economic Times, the late Mangeshkar passed away on 6 February 2022 at Breach Candy Hospital. This is the same hospital where Asha Bhosle took her last breath. Both of them were born four years apart and passed away at the same age. This coincidence has been noted by fans online.
Another striking fact is that both of them died on a Sunday. This fact adds an emotional link to their lives. Lata ji was admitted to Breach Candy Hospital due to her illness, where she passed away. Similarly, Asha Bhosle was admitted the night prior to the same hospital.
Both of them have left a strong legacy in the world of music. Lata Mangeshkar was honored with India’s highest civilian honor, Bharat Ratna, as well as Padma Bhushan and Padma Vibhushan. Asha Bhosle had received the Padma Vibhushan in 2008 for her contribution to the field of music.
