Madhura Jasraj, daughter of famed filmmaker V Shantaram and wife of late legendary classical vocalist Pandit Jasraj, passed away today due to age-related illness.

Madhura Jasraj, 86, died in the early hours of September 25, a spokesperson of the Jasraj family said.

The last rites will be performed at Oshiwara Crematorium in Mumbai in the evening.
