Zanai Bhosle remembers grandmother Asha Bhosle
Sharing a throwback video from her childhood, in which Zanai Bhosle is seen cutting Asha Bhosle’s birthday cake, Zanai wrote, “I pray to have you back as my blood once again. It’s a soul connection forever.”
On Monday, Zanai was seen breaking down at several points during her grandmother’s funeral. That night, she wrote on her Instagram stories, “So overwhelmed with emotions, I’ll write something when I can, but I have to say that there were so many people who have respected her and honoured her today, and beyond it all shown her so much love. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. She deserved every bit of it. I realise that she lives on in every one of us, in our hearts forever, and she has seen it all from above.”
On Tuesday, Zanai Bhosle penned an emotional note in memory of her grandmother Asha Bhosle. Zanai wrote, “As I wake up this morning, I realise I have lost my partner in crime, my best friend, a person who completed my entire world and the first person to hold me when I was born. What do I do now? Who am I supposed to wake up and give a hug to in the morning and have chai with? Who’s going to be waiting for me every day when I come home, or who am I supposed to crack lame jokes with?”
“These are just a few things to remember her by, but to all those who have felt this loss with me, remember that she was and is the definition of LIFE and LAUGHTER, so if you have to remember her, only remember her that way!! She’s looking down on us all, especially her family, and I believe she’s going to come back to me very soon, because that is what she promised me and told me always!! I have lost the love of my life, and there is no bigger grief in the world, so I urge you guys to live life to your fullest and celebrate her that way and celebrate her life!! I love you, Ashaai, and goodbye for now, my love. I know you are always going to be with me, no matter what, just waiting for you to come back to me and hug me once again,” she added.
