Athiya Shetty trolled for Confusing Lata Mangeshkar with Asha Bhosle

The passing of legendary singer Asha Bhosle on April 12, 2026, left the entire country in mourning. Fans, celebrities, and members of the music and film industry paid tribute to the iconic voice who shaped Indian music for decades. However, during this emotional time, actor Athiya Shetty found herself facing unexpected criticism on social media due to a mistake in her condolence post.

Athiya Shetty, who is the daughter of actor Suniel Shetty, shared a message on Instagram to mourn the loss of Asha Bhosle. But instead of posting Asha Bhosle’s picture, she mistakenly uploaded a photo of another legendary singer, Lata Mangeshkar, who had passed away in 2022. The error was quickly noticed by social media users, and many people began pointing it out in the comments.

Athiya Shetty gone mad

She uploaded a picture of Lata Mangeshkar instead of Asha Bhosle. 😭

Although Athiya deleted the post soon after realizing the mistake, screenshots had already spread widely online. This led to a wave of criticism, with many users calling her careless. Some comments were harsh and accused her of not paying attention while posting such an important message. Others questioned how such a mistake could happen, especially when it involved two of India’s most respected singers.

Many users expressed disappointment, saying that people should be more careful and respectful while posting about serious matters like someone’s death. A few also said that if one is not sure, it is better to post a simple message instead of making such an error. At the same time, some reactions online were overly critical and personal in nature, showing how quickly social media can turn negative.

So far, Athiya Shetty has not publicly explained the mistake. However, she later shared another post to properly mourn Asha Bhosle and pay her respects. The situation highlights how even a small error on social media can quickly become a big controversy, especially when it involves well known public figures.

Meanwhile, Asha Bhosle’s final rites are scheduled to take place on Monday, April 13, 2026. Fans and well wishers can visit her residence in Lower Parel, Mumbai, from 11 in the morning to pay their last respects. Her cremation will be held at Shivaji Park at 4 in the evening.

Asha Bhosle’s legacy remains unmatched, and her music will continue to live on in the hearts of millions despite the unfortunate controversy surrounding this moment.
