We are all fortunate to live in Independent India because of the sacrifice of thousands of freedom fighters who fought in India’s freedom movement . Many young freedom fighters laid down their lives while fighting against the inhuman attitude of British soldiers. When Mahatma Gandhi opened his freedom movement ‘Bharat Chhodo’ thousands of Indians young and old became part of this movement. One of them was 15 year old youngster Shirish Kumar Mehta from Nandurbar district in Maharashtra.

On 9^th September 1942 when Shahid Shirish Kumar along with his friends were on a morning round uttering ‘Vande Mataram’ to show their solidarity . They were stopped by the police and when they continued to shout their slogan, Police opened fire on them killing Shirishkumar and his four friends Dhansukhlal , Ghanashyam, Shashidhar and Laldas. Even while breathing his last Shirish kumar held the Indian flag firmly in his hands, which speaks about his commitment to his fight against injustice.

Ashatai was admitted to hospital after she along with 27 others on the sets were tested positive. Unfortunately, Ashatai succumbed to this ailment during the treatment. This shows how dangerous is the corona virus and how unsafe it is, to shoot with a big unit.

Latest news received from Satara is that her co star in this serial Alka Kubal Athalye performed the last rites of Ashatai as per her wish. The veteran 79 year old actress had spoken to Alka to do so, in case if the worst situation comes.

She had shown signs of improvement but on Tuesday morning she succumbed to this deadly ailment.

At a time when the family members of Ashatai suggested not to bring her deadbody to Mumbai, the last rites performed by Alka Kubal Athlye and her husband (Sameer Athalye) at the Satara’s Balaji Trust Crematorium certainly deserve a lot of appreciation. MarathiMovieWorld salute this brave couple for their fine gesture which is a rare tribute to the departed actress.
