For the unversed, this was the first time SRK made a public appearance after keeping away from the public eye since late last year following the arrest of his son Aryan Khan in a drug case.

Bharat Ratna Lata Mangeshkar passed away at the age of 92. Her cremation took place at Shivaji Park on Sunday in Mumbai with full state honors.

The vehicle in which her body was taken to the stadium was completely decorated with white flowers and also had a massive photo of hers.

Eight priests dressed in white arrived to conduct the final rites. Blocks of sandalwood were placed on her body while the priests chanted the mantras.
