Renowned actress Bhairavi Ardya Deka paid heartfelt tributes to the beloved artist, celebrating his extraordinary legacy.
Zubeen Garg, known for his remarkable versatility, recorded over 38,000 songs in more than 40 languages, captivating audiences worldwide. Bhairavi Ardya Deka shared her profound sorrow, stating:
“The Indian music industry has lost a gem. Zubeen’s passing is a devastating blow to his countless fans. Beyond his unparalleled talent as a singer, he was a compassionate humanitarian who tirelessly supported the underprivileged. In Assam, he was revered almost as a deity.”
Bhairavi also commended Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma for allocating land to establish a memorial trust in Zubeen Garg’s name, ensuring his contributions endure for generations.
In addition to his prolific singing career, Zubeen excelled as a music composer, producer, director, and actor, leaving an indelible mark on Indian cinema. His soulful renditions in Telugu films, including “Yele Yele” from Nithiin’s Takkari, “O Bachelor” from Victory, and “Gunde Godarila” from Ram Pothineni’s Maska, earned him widespread acclaim, thanks to opportunities provided by the late music director Chakri.
On September 19, Zubeen had traveled to Singapore for the Northeast Festival. Tragically, he suffered a fatal accident while scuba diving. Despite being rushed to a hospital in critical condition, he passed away during treatment, leaving the Indian film and music industry in mourning.
