Vishal Dadlani: Kisi nazar ko tera intezaar aaj bhi hai. Manzilein apni jagah hain, raaste apni jagah. Chalte chalte, mere yeh geet yaad rakhna. #BappiDa was a very under-rated musical legend. He was far more intricate a composer than merely the #DiscoKing everyone loved to refer to him as.
Hiten Tejwani: Rest in peace Bappi da.
Kumar Sanu: Really shocked by very dear Bappi Da's demise You'll always be in our hearts. I still can't believe it. Met him few days back and he was so lively. Have so many memories of him May God gives strength to the family. Dada ap Amar ho. Om Shanti
Vir Das: Dear Hip Hop fans, Bappi Da created music edgier than the times, created an in your face recognisable visual for a performer, wore heaps of bling, sunglasses indoors, and played with percussion and samples…..waaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy before that artist we now love. Rest in Peace King of Bling. This was always my fav Bappi Da song. The MOST fun.
Vivek Oberoi: The musical industry has lost another gem today. My personal favorite song of his has been Kisi Nazar Ko Tera.. from the movie Aitbaar that was filmed on my father @oberoi_suresh. A truly soulful song that people continue to love till date. Rest in peace Bappi Da. My deepest condolences to his family, friends and fans.
Tusshar Kapoor: #BappiDa ….like millions of others in my generation I, too, have grown up to your songs! The world of music has lost another legend! My deepest condolences to the family! RIP… गोरों की ना कालों की यह दुनिया हैं दिलवालों की!
Neil Nitin Mukesh: The True King Of Pop. Bappi Daa , there was and will never be anyone like you. Thank you for making our youth Rocking My deepest condolences with the entire family and his millions of fans who truly love him.
Hansal Mehta: Another legend gone. #BappiLahiri. Had the good fortune of working closely with him when I shot an ad for p&g and then when I worked with White Feather Films for #SanjayGupta. Bappi Da was a man of incredible melody and talent. Although he had a vast body of work I think his melodious side was still under-utilised and underrated.
Sophie Choudry: So blessed to have spent so much time over the years with Bappida and the family. His songs and his style were both Iconic. Thank you for the music Bappida & for being such a Rockstar Being on stage with you is a moment I will never forget Sending all my love & condolences to aunty, Bappa, Reema and the whole family.
Adnan Sami: I can't believe this! Shocked…Numbed…Speechless!. He was India's First 'ROCK STAR'!! He was full of love & generosity! Will miss him dearly ...
"Chalte Chalte…
Mere Ye Geet Yaad Rakhna…
Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna…
Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna…"
"Dil Mein Ho Tum…
Aankhon Mein Tum…"
Rest in peace dear Bappi Da…
