Internet REACTS
One user on X commented, “Athiya Shetty is beauty without brains. She posted a story with a photo of Late Lata Mangeshkar instead of Late Asha Bhosle. Nepo kids just want to stay relevant, but they lack hard work and struggle, which is why their movies flop and they make such blunders.”

Another critic remarked, “It’s really sad to see how careless people can be on serious matters. Athiya Shetty sharing a photo of Lata Mangeshkar while mourning Asha Bhosle isn’t just a small mistake — it shows a lack of attention. The least you can do is verify before posting, especially during such moments. Just share a simple condolence message if you’re unsure.”
