Last year, Lahiri was admitted to a hospital in Mumbai after the veteran was detected with “mild COVID symptoms.” The singer was admitted to the Breach Candy Hospital as a “precautionary measure”.
- Bappi da ruled the music industry for more than two decades from mid 70s. His first break was in 1973 film Nanhe Shikari. Bappi da started as a tabla player in his young age.
- Though he was known as a 'disco king' for his peppy numbers such as Disco Dancer, Yaad Aa raha hai, Raat Baaki, Tamma Tamma among others, he composed melancholic & romantic songs such as Kisi Nazar Ko Tera Intezaar, Chalte Chalte, Tumhara Pyaar Chahiye, Dil Main Ho Tum as well.
His last Bollywood song titled Bhankas was for the 2020 film Baaghi 3. Bappi da was last seen on Bigg Boss 15, where he had come to promote the launch of his grandson Swastik’s new song, Baccha Party. It was his first and last appearance on Bigg Boss.
