Mumbai: Bollywood's evergreen star Dev Anand's ashes were immersed in the Godavari river in Nashik on Wednesday evening by his son Suneil, a family friend said.
"Suniel just finished immersing the ashes of his father in the holy waters of the Godavari river. I accompanied him there," Mohan Churiwala, a close associate and family friend told IANS over the phone.
Dev Anand's son Suneil had come to India from London to immerse his late father's ashes in the holy river.
The last rites of Dev Anand, who passed away in London on December 3 following a heart attack, were performed on Saturday at the Putney Vale Crematorium in London. A memorial service was also held at the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan in London, the same day.
In Mumbai, a memorial service will be held on Friday. "A memorial service will be held at Mehboob Studios in suburban Bandra on Friday. It will be held there because a make-up room of Dev saab is still at the studio. Also, there is some emotional connect as he had shot a lot of films over there," Churiwala said.
