One of the most popular folk singers in Punjab Gurmeet Maan died a few days following the untimely death of Rajvir Jawanda. The industry appears to have lost its heartbeat consecutively.
Gurmeet Maan was not only a singer, but was famous due to his earthly appeal and roots. His voice was representative of the Punjab.
He sang the land, people and their tales, the sort that make you get back to the good old days, and was an officer of the Punjab Police, born in Ropar. His voice was something genuine and old-fashioned.
Gurmeet Maan had earned a tradition of soulful music over the years. His duets with Preet Payal were folk gold to the folk lovers of the folk music in the folk themes that were played at the weddings, melas and every single home where Punjab traditions have been preserved.
When the news of his death was announced, social media was filled with tributes. The fans referred to him as a real son of Punjab whose voice was like a homeland. It is tragic to many who have been brought up listening to his music when it was harvest time or when the family gets together.
The timing makes it harder. Rajvir Jawanda, the young and bright prodigy of the industry, died in a tragic road accident on a motorcycle few days ago on September 27 in an accident near Baddi in Himachal Pradesh. The music scene of Punjab has not even had time to rest between losses.
This is the third death of a Punjabi celebrity in the last few days. Punjabi actor and bodybuilder Varinder Ghuman died of heart attack a few days ago.
The actor had gone to a private hospital in Amritsar to get treatment, and the manager of Ghuman, Yadvinder Singh, said the actor was undergoing shoulder pain.
In the evening, his nephew Amanjot Singh Ghuman informed reporters at Jalandhar that the actor had a heart attack in the hospital.
Ghuman is 41 years old and has starred in the film alongside superstar Salman Khan, or in other Hindi movies such as Tiger-3 in 2023, Roar: Tigers of Sundarbans in 2014 and Marjaavan in 2019. In 2012 he also appeared as an actor in the Punjabi film Kabaddi Once Again.
