The
news
of
legendary
singer-composer
Bappi
Lahiri's
passing
away
has
come
as
a
huge
jolt
to
the
Indian
film
industry
and
fans
across
the
globe.
He
had
been
in
hospital
for
a
month,
where
he
was
being
treated
for
multiple
health
issues.
Kumar
Sanu
in
a
chat
with
a
leading
tabloid
reacted
to
the
news
of
his
demise.
Speaking
to
ETimes,
the
singer
said,
"Bappi
Da
was
a
music
director
who
used
to
never
teach
the
song
to
me.
He
would
sing
it
once
and
tell
me,
'Abhi
tu
gaa'.
He
used
to
make
it
so
easy
for
the
singers.
He
used
to
give
singers
space
to
experiment
and
be
creative.
The
world
is
going
to
miss
him
a
lot."
Kumar
Sanu
remembered
Bappi
Lahiri
as
an
exemplary
human
being
and
said
that
he
had
a
big
heart.
The
popular
singer
further
shared
that
the
'Disco
Dancer'
singer
used
to
laugh
a
lot
and
loved
feeding
people,
adding
that
his
entire
family
was
like
him.
Explaining
why
the
'Disco
King'
stood
out
from
the
rest
for
him,
Kumar
Sanu
explained
that
his
music
had
simplicity
and
newness
and
that
he
also
introduced
a
lot
of
new
musical
instruments.
He
said
that
Bappi
Lahiri
gave
opportunities
to
a
lot
of
new
singers
as
a
music
dancer
and
the
fact
that
he
delivered
many
musical
gems
spoke
volumes
about
him
and
his
work.
Further,
Kumar
recalled
his
experience
of
working
with
the
legendary
musician
and
said,
"Working
with
Bappi
Da
was
always
fun.
Be
it
in
the
studio
or
in
front
of
the
microphone,
there
was
never
a
time
when
we
would
not
be
laughing
over
something."
On
being
asked
to
name
his
favourite
Bappi
Lahiri
song,
Kumar
Sanu
said
that
while
all
of
his
songs
have
a
special
place
in
his
heart,
the
one
crooned
by
Kumar
Sanu
himself
called
'Thehre
Hue
Paani
Mein
Kankar
Na
Maar'
is
closest
to
his
heart.
