Anshuman Sinha, the singer's son, confirmed her death in a tweet, "Your prayers and love will always be with mother. She has been called by Chhathi Maiya to her side."

The singer's last rituals were held on November 7, 2024, in Patna with full state honours. Sharda was awarded the Padma Bhushan on the eve of Republic Day in 2018.

Meanwhile, Sinha's farewell Facebook message for her late husband became viral, in which she said, "I will come to you soon."

Sharda's last Facebook post was a photo of herself and her husband Brijkishore with the caption, "I met him for the last time on the evening of September 17. Before leaving, I told him, ‘I will return in three days, please take care of yourself.’ He said, ‘I will be absolutely fine. You stay healthy, and do return soon.’ He was looking at me the whole time. Who knew this was our last meeting?"

"I still feel his presence. My kids, Vandana and Anshuman, still feel their father is just out for work and will return soon. This is a picture from our last meeting. The silence and his absence are killing me. In the picture, you can see his teary eyes with his granddaughter, and I am assuring him, ‘I will come to you soon.' 'Mai jald hi aaungi, maine bas yehi kaha tha unse (I will join you soon, that is what I told him),’" she added.

She is also well-known for her songs from the movie Maine Pyar Kiya and Hum Aapke Hain Kaun.
