Bappi Lahiri funeral, LIVE updates: 'Disco King' laid to rest; family members break down
Bappi Da was a full-of-life person. Was a genius but never imposed his thoughts on others. Whenever an artist used to sing, he always used to motivate them to sing in their style. Never showed ego but always appreciated others for their work.

Bappi Da always used to keep himself busy with work, always creating something new in his studio.

Bappi Da had always supported and loved me the same way he did during the struggling days, I pray God blesses him with heaven.

It is not good to say anything in this time of sorrow but our disco king has said goodbye forever. One who comes has to go someday, but an artiste like Bappi Da who ruled the music fraternity for 50 years, composed such iconic songs, should not have left so soon.

It makes me sad, that Bappi da has gone back on the lyrics of his song Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna and forced us to say alvida to him.

I have heard stories of a 4-year-old Bappi da playing the tabla and Raj Kapoor ji offering him a naman and praise. He was a child genius. But he never took pride in his talent, he was always humble and easy to work with. Despite being so talented himself, he would always allow other singers the freedom to sing the way they wished. Everyone's aware of his talent, but as a person he was a gem and truly one-of-a-kind.

I owe my career to Bappi Lahiri. I've been singing his songs like Chalte Chalte since high school and junior college. When I first came to Mumbai, I had a struggling phase of 7-8 years and money was hard to come by. But Bappi da's then manager, Bharat bhai, used to call me and ask me to come for Bappi da's shows in Pune, Ahmedabad and around the country. I used to wait anxiously for those calls, because that meant my finances for the month would be sorted.
