Athiya Shetty gets bashed online [Source: Screengrab]In a moment of sheer embarrassment, Indian cricketer KL Rahul's wife, Athiya Shetty, made an unforgivable blunder that left the internet enraged. On April 12, legendary Indian singer Asha Bhosle passed away at the age of 92. She breathed her last at Mumbai’s Breach Candy Hospital due to multi-organ failure after being admitted for exhaustion and a chest infection. Following her demise, fans and well-wishers paid tribute across social media. However, Athiya Shetty’s mishap was something the internet did not forgive. KL Rahul’s wife mistakes Late Lata Mangeshkar for Late Asha Bhosle Like many other cricketers and celebrities, Athiya Shetty took to her Instagram handle to pay tribute to the late Asha Bhosle. However, her post landed her in trouble. Posting around 3:30 pm IST, Athiya shared a picture of legendary singer Lata Mangeshkar instead of Asha Bhosle. The image showed a young Lata Mangeshkar reading a letter in a black-and-white photograph, which Athiya posted on her Instagram story with folded hands. Apparently, she mistook Lata Mangeshkar for Asha Bhosle, but the internet quickly spotted the error.

However, such confusion is not entirely uncommon, especially among people less familiar with the two legends. Why do people often get confused between Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhosle? Many often mix up Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhosle due to similarities in their voice texture, training, and even their early physical appearances. The Nightingale sisters ruled the golden era of Bollywood music and were born into a Marathi family, growing up together with the same musical training. Despite this, the internet was ruthless toward Athiya Shetty, with fans heavily criticising her online. She later deleted the Instagram story, which is no longer available for public viewing.Pushkar @Musafirr_hu_yar Uploaded lata Mangeshkar picture 😭😭 Apr 12, 2026, 4:45 PM Shiv @mr_Tubun Athiya Shetty after uploading Lata Mangeshkar photo on insta story instead of Asha Bhosle Apr 12, 2026, 5:14 PM अंकुश @ankushtweets It’s really sad to see how careless people can be on serious matters.
