In a shocking incident, Anivesh Shrivastava, the younger son of renowned composer Aadesh Shrivastava, was allegedly involved in a car accident in Mumbai's Lokhandwala area on Sunday morning. According to reports, Anivesh's Range Rover crashed into a divider and a statue installed at the crossing, destroying it. What adds to the irony is that the chowk in question was named after his late father, Aadesh Shrivastava, a few years ago.
The accident occurred when a red Range Rover with a Haryana license plate rammed into the divider. The car was registered to Vijayta Pandit, Aadesh Shrivastava's wife. Visuals from the accident site show the damaged divider and a destroyed statue. Anivesh was seen standing next to the car in images shared on social media.
It's unclear whether a police complaint has been filed in the case. A Reddit post claims that the chowk was the same one that was named after Aadesh Shrivastava a few years ago. Anivesh, Vijayta, and Aadesh's older son, Avitesh, had attended the renaming ceremony.
Aadesh Shrivastava was a renowned composer who began his career as a drummer for R.D. Burman and Rakesh Roshan in the 1980s. He established himself as a successful composer with hit scores for films like Major Saab, Chalte Chalte, and Baghban. He also found fame as a judge on the reality show Sa Re Ga Ma Pa in 2005. Aadesh was diagnosed with cancer in 2010 and passed away in 2015, leaving behind a legacy in the music industry.
