Bollywood mourns the legendary singer Asha Bhosle who died on April 12, with Karan Johar’s upcoming production Chand Mera Dil going so far as to push back a song release in honour of the icon.

The title track of Chand Mera Dil was all set to release on April 13, Monday. However, in light of current circumstances and as Bhosle’s last rites are to take place in Mumbai on the day, the drop has been pushed to April 14.

The song features Ananya Panday and Lakshya.
