Legendary singer Asha Bhosle's demise has left a void in the industry. The veteran singer sang till her last breath, and despite being 92 years old, she remained active and performed in concerts. She breathed her last in Mumbai following a battle with multiple organ failure on Sunday. Not only did she have an amazing career in the field of music, but she also had an impressive fortune throughout the many decades of her life.

After her demise, sadly, the question now doing the rounds on social media is who will inherit Asha Bhosle's assets?

Asha Bhosle's net worth

Asha Bhosle's estimated net worth is believed to be between Rs 200 crore and Rs 250 crore, making her one of the wealthiest singers in India. Her income came from multiple sources, such as playback singing across decades, live concerts and international tours, royalties from timeless songs, business ventures, and brand collaborations. Despite starting her career at a time when singers were not paid royalties, her consistent work and versatility ensured long-term financial success.

Asha Bhosle also made substantial investments in real estate, thereby increasing her overall financial worth. She owned several properties in Mumbai and Pune. One of her most famous houses was Prabhu Kunj in Mumbai. It has been reported that her investments in real estate amounted to more than Rs 80 to 100 crore.

Besides being a musician, she developed a liking for cooking and started her own business line in that area, which turned out to be very successful. Her chain restaurant is named Asha's, and its outlets are located all over the world, including countries like the UAE, the UK, Bahrain, and Kuwait.

Who will inherit the property?

The estate, reportedly worth Rs 200–250 crore, is expected to be inherited by her son Anand Bhosle and granddaughter Zanai Bhosle. Her son Anand Bhosle managed her business affairs and is now considered the heir. Her assets include luxurious properties in Mumbai and Pune, as well as her renowned international restaurant chain, Asha's.

Meanwhile, several videos and photos of Asha Bhosle's cremation have gone viral. In those videos, one clip shows Asha Bhosle's granddaughter Zanai Bhosle adjusting her dupatta and allegedly showing her kurta's neckline at the cremation ground. Many slammed her, alleging she did it on purpose as paparazzi were all around and multiple cameras were on her at that moment. However, netizens also came out in support, stating Mumbai's weather is hot and humid, and she must have been feeling uncomfortable.

At the same time, the absence of many big celebs like Ranbir Kapoor, Rani Mukerji, Kareena Kapoor, Karisma Kapoor, Salman Khan, and Shah Rukh Khan from the funeral has raised eyebrows. While celebs flocked to Manish Malhotra's mother's demise at his mother's, no major celebrity attended the funeral of Asha Bhosle, who was a legendary singer. Even Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan did not attend, though they did meet Manish Malhotra after his mother's demise. This has not gone down well with many people.
