Bappi Da was so endearing in person. But, his music had an edge. He introduced a more contemporary style to Hindi film music with Chalte Chalte, Suraksha & Disco Dancer.

Just heard about #BappiDa‘s demise.
I’m stunned. He will forever be a legend, but more than that, he was a friend.
We shared a mutual love & respect, & I’m grateful that VS were the first composers he sang for outside of his own songs.
