Asha's Death
The details about Asha Sharma's demise are being kept under wraps for now. The cause of her passing, along with information regarding her last rites and prayer meet, have not been disclosed yet.
Pooja Gor, who shared the screen with veteran actress Asha in the show Pratigya, while talking about the actress' demise, told Times Now, "She was a wonderful person and a great human being. She would always shower a lot of love and blessings on us. She played the role of my grandmother in the show. After the show, I unfortunately met her only once. May her beautiful soul rest in peace."
Asha last appeared in the Prabhas and Kriti Sanon starrer film Adipurush. She played the role of Shabari in the film. To note, Adipurush received a lot of backlash soon after its release. Adipurush, released in June last year, was based on the Ramayana epic and starred Prabhas and Kriti Sanon. Saif Ali Khan played the antagonist Lankesh. Unfortunately, the movie didn't do well critically or financially, falling short of its reported budget of over Rs 600 crore.
