The 48-year-old's fight with cancer continues
Sonil Dedhia (BOMBAY TIMES; September 1, 2015)

Music composer, Aadesh Shrivastava is admitted to a suburban Mumbai hospital, after suffering a relapse of his terminal condition. In 2010, Aadesh was diagnosed with multiple myeloma (cancer of the plasma cells) and underwent a successful treatment. Actress-wife, Vijayta Pandit and her music-composer brothers Jatin and Lalit Pandit are constantly by his side. When we spoke to Lalit, he told us, “Aadesh is not keeping well at all and is in a lot of pain. He has been undergoing chemotherapy for over a month and is fighting hard. His situation is bad. The doctors are trying to do their best. We're hoping for a miracle.“

The industry is concerned about the composer's health. While veteran singer Lata Mangeshkar tweeted about it, one also hears that Amitabh Bachchan has reached out to the family. Big B and Aadesh share a special bond. The composer has often been quoted saying, “I call Amitabh Bachchan my dada. Since my childhood, he has been my Ram Bhagwan and I am his Hanuman.“
