The singer shared that while they have been together for 29 years, their bond continues to be filled with adventures. "29 years together and yet I Love our adventures and chaos, and that 'what are we having for dinner?' Everyday!! My favorite person to laugh with, argue with and do absolutely nothing with".

Papon expressed gratitude for her constant presence in his life. He also raised a toast to many more adventures in the journey ahead.

"Here is to many more adventures in the journey ahead. Thank you for everything Happy 22nd wedding anniversary to us. And thank you everyone for the wishes. @shweta.mahanta (sci)", he concluded the post. Papon started his musical journey in the year 1998 with the Assamese song 'Nasaba Sokule' from the album Snigdha Junak. In 2004, he released his first album, 'Junaki Raati'. He made his debut in Bollywood with the song 'Om mantra' from the film 'Strings', bound by faith in 2006. In 2011, his song 'Jiyein Kyun' was his first big hit.

Train journeys are truly the best way to see the real India. The landscapes, the people, the chai at stations... nothing beats it. Papon's post brought back so many memories of my own train trips from college. More celebrities should do this instead of just private jets!

As someone who recently visited Assam, seeing the Gamosa made me smile. It's wonderful how Papon carries a piece of his heritage with him. Also, his anniversary post is adorable! 22 years is a big achievement. Wishing them many more years of happiness and "chaos"!

While I appreciate the sentiment, I do hope he travelled in a general compartment to truly experience the "common man's" journey. Often these celebrity train trips are in first-class AC, which is a very different reality. Still, a nice gesture to promote train travel.

His music has been the soundtrack to so many moments in my life. 'Moh Moh Ke Dhaage' is pure magic! Seeing him be so down-to-earth and celebrating a long marriage is really inspiring. It's nice to know good people exist in the industry. More power to him!

The cultural aspect is fascinating. In a country as diverse as India, it's powerful to see artists proudly represent their regional identity on a national platform. The Gamosa story is a small but meaningful act of cultural preservation. Respect.
