 "All you need to know about Garima Saikia Garg, Assamese singer Zubin Garg's wife and their love story")
Celebrated Assamese singer Zubeen Garg, known for lending his voice to the song Ya Ali from Gangster, passed away in a tragic accident recently at the age of 52. One of the first few people to condole his demise was the Cabinet Minister of Assam, Ashok Singhal.
He tweeted- “Deeply saddened by the untimely demise of our beloved Zubeen Garg. Assam has lost not just a voice, but a heartbeat. Zubeen da was more than a singer, he was the pride of Assam and the nation, whose songs carried our culture, our emotions, and our spirit to every corner of the world.”
Zubeen Garg’s love story
The singer was married to fashion designer Garima Saikia Garg. In a couple of his interviews, Garg confessed of having a lot of girlfriends in school and college. It’s said Garima was so enamoured by his albums Anamika and Maya, that she was the one who made the first move in the relationship by writing letters to the singer.
Just like a Bollywood film, the conflict arose as Garima’s father disapproved the relationship and she also couldn’t handle the singer’s restless behaviour. They finally tied the knot on February 4, 2002.
Why did Zubeen Garg quit Bollywood?
The singer once said in an interview, “Mumbai has more attitude, and to get rid of that, I asked them to come here. I will die here [in Assam] like a king. I still have a home in Mumbai, but I don’t like the chaos. It’s just too much.”
When the singer was slapped by the police
Zubeen Garg also revealed, “I was slapped by the police… by the army… But I told them, ‘One day, you’ll be in my security.’ I’ve seen bad times—very bad times. For a long time, there was heavy ULFA influence in Assam, and I was the only one who stood up to them. They tried to dictate everything.”
