Bollywood Actors Mourn as Beloved Singer Zubeen Garg Dies in Tragic Swimming Incident

The sudden, heartbreaking demise of Zubeen Garg on September 19, 2025, has sent shockwaves through the Indian entertainment world. Those who shared music studios, film sets, and concert stages with him are now left grappling with disbelief, grief, and unanswered questions. In the wake of his death, Bollywood stars are expressing raw emotion—tributes flooding social media, concert schedules being altered, and a cultural void now echoing across India and beyond.

A Life Silenced Too Soon

Zubeen Garg, aged 52, was a legend in his own right—an artist whose voice transcended regional boundaries. From the heart-wrenching melodies of Assamese folk to chart-topping Bollywood hits like “Ya Ali,” Zubeen bridged worlds. But on that fateful day in Singapore, his journey came to a tragic end.

According to multiple accounts, Zubeen had gone swimming at Lazarus Island during his visit to Singapore for the Northeast India Festival. Early reports claimed he was scuba diving, though later investigation suggests he was swimming without a life jacket. DIVE Magazine+2People.com+2

A video that went viral shows him struggling in the water without his life jacket—gasping, fatigued, reaching toward a raft. Patrika News Witnesses say he attempted to remove the life jacket because it was oversized, and soon after became unwell. He was eventually pulled from the water, administered CPR, and rushed to Singapore General Hospital, where he was declared dead. India Today+3People.com+3The Times of India+3

His body awaited postmortem procedures in Singapore before being flown home to Assam, where thousands awaited his final journey. The Times of India+2The Economic Times+2

Bollywood’s Heartbroken Tributes

When a voice like Zubeen’s falls silent, the world of music and cinema pauses in sorrow. Among the flood of condolences and tributes, a few stand out:

Aamir Khan, who starred in Gangster (which featured Zubeen’s Ya Ali), called him “a true legend whose music shaped generations.”

Kangana Ranaut shared emotional memories, especially noting how Zubeen’s voice elevated her early film experiences.

Veteran music directors and singers—from Shaan to Jeet Ganguly—paid homage to his versatility, humility, and warm spirit.

Regional stars from Assam and the Northeast, like Papon and Adil Hussain, shed personal tears, remembering Zubeen as both brother and cultural icon.

His passing has become more than news—it’s a communal heartbreak uniting film houses, recording studios, and fans across India.

The Mystery Deepens: FIRs, Questions, and Investigation

While grief is universal, suspicion has taken root in the tragedy. The Assam government has declared a three-day state mourning, and a Special Investigation Team (SIT) has been formed to probe the exact circumstances of Zubeen’s death. The Times of India+2The Economic Times+2

FIRs have been filed against the event organizer and Zubeen’s manager, alleging negligence in failing to ensure proper safety protocols. The Times of India+2Hindustan Times+2

One of the most significant developments is the detention of Shekhar Jyoti Goswami, a longtime collaborator and drummer, reportedly present at Zubeen’s final moments. He was taken into custody by Assam’s SIT for questioning. The Times of India+1

The singer’s wife, Garima Saikia Garg, has clarifed some earlier misreports—saying he did not scuba dive but was swimming when he suffered a seizure, and that during the first swim, he was wearing a life jacket. India Today

Meanwhile, enraged fans have reportedly targeted the residence of Zubeen’s manager, leading to protests and vandalism. Authorities have had to step in with tight security measures. Hindustan Times
