Well, Dr. Deepak Namjoshi, who treated the legendary singer also spoke to the media and said, "Lahiri had been admitted to the hospital for a month and was discharged on Monday. But his health deteriorated on Tuesday and his family called for a doctor to visit their home. He was brought to the hospital. He had multiple health issues. He died due to OSA (Obstructive Sleep Apnea) shortly before midnight."

Even Kajol, Rakesh Roshan, Shaan and other celebs arrive at Bappi Lahiri's residence and paid respect to Bappi ji…

Bappi ji's last song was 'Bhankaas' for Bhaagi 3 movie in 2020… Well, the director Ahmed Khan reminisced him and turned emotional. He spoke to the media and said, "For me he has been this sweet, cute legend. He is the same in real life too as he is seen in all his interviews. One thing I like about him is his enthusiasm for work even at this stage of his career. Also, he was so up to date with the current times,"

He also said, being a child actor, he got an opportunity to meet him at his early age. "I was acting in a film called Aaj Ke Angaarey (1988) and the music of the film was done by Bappi Da. I was 12 years old then and got to meet him. He remembers me from that time. He would always say, 'You were a kid and now look at you, you have become a director'. So, when we worked on Baaghi 3, I liked the fact how he didn't treat me as a kid because he has seen me grow up, but as an abled director who is handling this project. Having said that, everytime I met him I became a child (Laughs!)."

He also concluded by saying, "I made it a point that Bappi Da sang for this song and so I made him sing at least a stanza, which he did. He really enjoyed it. At his age he was so active, Baapi Da just passed away too early."

Well, Suniel Shetty also mourned for his loss and said, "Bappi Da was an absolute legend, a great musician but I think an even better human being. So loving, so affectionate, so respectful. God bless him. I think there are huge losses this year. Earlier, Lata Ji and now Bappi Da. Heartfelt condolences and strength because these legends can never be replaced. Rest in Peace Dada, Love You."

Bollywood's ace actress Rani Mukerji also mourned for the loss of Bappi Da and said, "India has again lost one of her precious gems. Bappi uncle is and will always be the most iconic musical personality of Indian cinema. His music was legendary, his versatility as a composer was unmatched. A truly self made man, a great son to his parents, a wonderful husband and a great dad. My Mum and Bappi uncle were childhood friends from Calcutta. It's a personal loss for our family, my mother is devastated. While the whole world mourns his loss, I can't help but think of all the memories I have of him from my childhood. I will miss him dearly, his smiling face and kind personality will always be a happy memory. I pray that Chitrani Aunty, Rema, Bappa and the entire Lahiri family find the strength to go through this loss. It's too sad, he went too soon. Bappi uncle rest in peace, the heavens have earned an angel today."
