Singer and composer Mika Singh just took to his social media profile and wrote an emotional note, bidding his goodbye to his favourite Punjabi singer Surinder Shinda, who passed away this morning.
Singer Surinder Shinda, whose melodious voice touched hearts across generations, passed away after prolonged illness. He was 64.
Sharing a video post on his social media, Mika Singh wrote, “I’m extremely shocked and sad hearing the news that my favourite singer #Surindershinda has sadly passed away. When we talk about ghaint and powerful voices his name is the first that comes to mind”
“This great Legend has not only given hit songs, but also brilliant music. I always aspired to sing like him. He will forever live on through his music, may Waheguru ji bless rest his soul in eternal peace” added Mika.
Some of his biggest hits include ‘jatt jeonah morh’, ‘putt jattan de’, ‘truck bnilliya’, ‘balbiro bhabhi ‘and ‘Kaher Singh di mout’.
The singer complained of stomach aches just a few days before his hospitalisation and had to undergo surgery. He later contracted an infection and was moved to the DMC Hospital.
Surinder, who hailed from Ludhiana’s Choti Ayali village, is survived by his son, Maninder Shinda. The singer was well-known for his work in Punjabi films like Putt Jattan De and Ucha Dar Babe Nanak Da.
