Asha and Varsha Bhosle

Fans of legendary singer Asha Bhosle are in shock after the news broke a little while ago that her daughter, Varsha (55) committed suicide earlier today by shooting herself with a licensed gun at her mother’s residence at Pedder Road in Mumbai.

Reports have it that Varsha was suffering from depression and had attempted suicide a few years ago as well.

Varsha Bhosle was married to sports writer Hemant Kenkre but they had divorced a few years ago. She also dabbled in playback singing for Hindi and Marathi films and was also a journalist for various publications in print and on the web.

Team MissMalini sends our deepest condolences to Asha Bhosle and her family.
