Covid 19 has spread so much of fear in the minds of people that it has not even spared our Marathi film and television industry. The most recent news was that of Ashalata Wabgaonkar succumbing to this deadly ailment, while shooting for a Marathi serial in Satara. 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. It is understood that Alka and her husband Samir who is well known cinematographer and film maker, were monitoring Ashatai’s progress while she was in hospital. 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.
