The 1990s and early 2000s were an era of soothing and meaningful music, especially in Bollywood. One of the main names who gets the credit for revolutionizing Hindi music was Aadesh Shrivastava. A legendary music composer, he breathed his last in 2015 after battling cancer at the age of 51.

For the uninitiated, Aadesh has composed some incredible songs for movies like Joru Ka Ghulam, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, Kunwara, Rehnaa Hai Tere Dil Mein, Baghban, and Chalte Chalte, among others.

In an interview, Aadesh Shrivastava's wife, Vijeta Pandit, got candid about her husband's last days and sought Shah Rukh Khan's help for their son, Avitesh.

Vijeta Pandit, former actress and Shrivastava's wife, sat down for a candid chat with Lehren Retro and spoke about how the Jawan actor used to come visit her husband during his last days.

"He (Avitesh) works so hard he has recorded music with Akon and French Montana, among others. But unfortunately, my son is not getting support or direction in the film industry. People from the industry know that today Aadesh is not there they should help my son," she said.


She further added, "You won't believe when Aadesh was in the hospital, Shah Rukh Khan used to come and meet. One day before he died, Aadesh held Shah Rukh's hand when he could not even talk and gestured, pointing towards our son, that he should look after him. Today, I am just not able to contact Shah Rukh the number that was given to my son is not working. I just want to remind Shah Rukh that he was a good friend of Aadesh, and this is the time we need you. I need you for my son because he is my and our family's future. I am not earning I am not doing anything."

She also credited Avitesh Shrivastava for his hard work and persistence. He was last seen in the 2022 release, Sirf Ek Friday.

"Shah Rukh Khan can make a film with my son under his production banner, Red Chillies Entertainment. He (Avitesh) is such a good actor he is doing a film called Sir Ek Friday that will have an OTT release... he is working so hard," she said.

Vijeta Pandit concluded, "I want to remind Shah Rukh that this is the time come and help my son. He just needs a little push. Shah Rukh is a very sweet man he came twice to see Aadesh in the last stages of his cancer. Now that he has promised, I want to ask him to help my son he needs you he does not have a father. Aadesh made you promise that, so you have to do something."
