Music is gone

Akshay Kumar: "After Jagjit Singh, India has lost another musical wonder, RIP Bhupen Hazarika. The man who gave us Dil Hoom Hoom Kare... truly our hearts recite this song with grief today."

Madhur Bhandarkar: "Sad to hear the demise of legendary music maestro Bhupen Hazarika, RIP."

Sanjay Suri: "Very very Sad to hear about Dr Bhupen Hazarika... spent some wonderful time with him during Daman."
