Ammy Virk honours late friend Rajvir Jawanda's commitments: Did what my heart told me to do

"I just did what my heart told me to do. - Ammy Virk"

Mumbai, Jan 16

Punjabi singer and actor Ammy Virk has stepped in to honour the professional commitments of his late friend Rajvir Jawanda, performing at nine previously scheduled shows without charging any fee.

Speaking about the gesture, Ammy said he simply followed what his heart told him to do. Determined that none of Rajvir's shows be cancelled, the singer has already performed at seven events and is set to appear at two more on his friend's behalf. All the proceeds from these performances will be handed over to Rajvir Jawanda's family.

"I met Rajvir only once, but that one meeting was enough to understand the kind of person he was, and I just did what my heart told me to do," said Ammy.

Ammy's decision to step in was driven by a desire to support Rajvir's family and honour the promises made to his fans before his untimely death. By performing these sets without charging a single penny, Ammy ensured that every commitment Rajvir had on his calendar was fully met.

Punjabi singer Rajvir Jawanda, known for his soulful voice, passed away in October 2025 after battling for his life in a private hospital for 11 days following a major road accident in Himachal Pradesh. He was 35 years old and is survived by his wife and two children.

Jawanda was injured while en route to Shimla on September 27, 2025, near Baddi in Solan district, which left him with severe head and spinal injuries. He was on life support since his admission.

A resident of Sector 71, Mohali, Jawanda's hit songs include 'Surname', 'Kamla', 'Mera Dil' and 'Sardari'. He also made his mark in Punjabi cinema with roles in films including 'Jind Jaan', 'Mindo Taseeldarni' and 'Kaka Ji'.

Having begun his musical journey in 2014 with the single 'Munda Like Me', Jawanda quickly rose to fame for his soulful voice and lyrics.

Such a tragic loss for the Punjabi music industry. Rajvir was so talented and had so much more to give. Ammy bhai, you've shown what it means to be a true 'bhai' in the industry. The family must be so grateful. May Rajvir's soul rest in peace.

Respect. That's the only word. Doing nine shows for free is no small thing. This is the kind of story that restores your faith in people. More power to Ammy Virk.

While this is a beautiful gesture, it also highlights a sad reality. A young artist with a wife and two children passes away, and the family's financial future seems to have depended on these shows. We need better safety nets and insurance for artists in India.

This story is emotional. They met only once, yet Ammy felt such a strong connection. It shows Rajvir's character as well. A tragic accident on the Himachal roads... a reminder for all of us to drive safely. Life is so fragile.
