Bappi Da was an exemplary human being. He used to laugh a lot and he loved feeding people. He had a big heart. His entire family was like him. For me, he stood out from the rest because his music had simplicity and newness. He introduced a lot of new music instruments. He gave opportunities to a lot of new singers as a music director. The fact that he gave us so many musical gems speaks volumes about him and his work.

Bappi Da was more than a legend. He was a friend. He was always kind to Shekhar and me and we shared a mutual respect and admiration. Can't believe he isn't with us anymore. First my Dad, then Lataji, then BappiDa. 2022 is really hitting hard. Far too hard. My deepest condolences to Bappa, Rema, Mrs Lahiri and the grandkids.
