Waheguru mehar kare 🙠The entire Punjabi music industry has lost a gem. His songs were the soundtrack of our college days. The way Diljit paused his concert shows how much he meant to everyone.
Road accidents in Himachal have become so common. The government really needs to improve highway safety measures. Such a talented life lost due to infrastructure issues. RIP Rajvir 🕊ï¸
Can't believe he's gone! Just last month I was listening to his latest tracks. The pain in Gippy Grewal's message shows how close-knit the Punjabi industry is. May his soul rest in peace.
So young and so much talent lost. His voice had that raw Punjabi emotion that connected with everyone. The CM's tribute was heartfelt. Hope his family finds strength in these difficult times.
While the tributes are touching, I wish we celebrated our artists more when they're alive. Rajvir deserved more recognition during his lifetime. Let's not wait for tragedies to appreciate talent.
His music brought so much joy to our family functions and weddings. Every Punjabi household has danced to his songs.
