Mumbai, Feb 27 (IANS) Singer and musician Anup Jalota broke down as he paid tributes to his ‘yaar’ Pankaj Udhas at the latter’s residence, calling it a ‘personal loss’.
Anup was present at the residence — 6A, Hill Side on Tuesday to pay last respects to the Padma Shri awardee.
Speaking to the media persons, Anup got emotional and said: “It’s very difficult to forget him. For people it is Pankaj Udhas who has gone, for me — I have lost a ‘yaar’. We have spent a beautiful time together — singing ghazals and songs. I don’t understand the person who has worked his entire life for cancer patients, died due to cancer.”
He said he is sad and hurt as it feels he has lost a family member.
“We used to meet, eat food together, sing songs everywhere even on our world tours. It’s a personal loss for me. May his soul rest in peace,” Jalota said.
Pankaj, who passed away after his battle with cancer, was given a state funeral in Mumbai. The band and troops gave him a hero’s farewell.
His mortal remains were wrapped in Tricolour at his residence, 6A, Hill Side in Mumbai.
The funeral was held at the Hindu crematorium in the Worli area of Mumbai.
