Asha Bhosle to skip Narendra Modi’s Delhi function

Asha Bhosle will not be able to attend the anniversary of ‘Swachh Bharat Mission’ in Delhi following the sudden demise of her son Hemant.

The singer, who lost her younger son Hemant three days ago, on Thursday expressed her inability in attending the event in a tweet to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

“@narendramodi Pranam. Due to sudden tragic loss of my son Hemant, I have to bow out from your 2 Oct Delhi function.

My sincere apologies,” Asha, 82, posted on Twitter.

To which Modi replied, “Dear @ashabhosle Tai, pained on the unfortunate demise of your son. My thoughts are with you during this hour of grief.”

Hemant died in Scotland after losing his battle with cancer. He was 66.
