Dubai: Punjabi music fans woke to heartbreaking news as singer Harman Sidhu, 37, died in a tragic road accident early this morning, November 22, sending shockwaves through the industry.

The popular artist was reportedly returning home from a shoot when his car collided head-on with a truck on the Mansa–Patiala stretch. The impact was fatal, cutting short the life of a singer whose voice had become a staple in Punjabi households.

Sidhu rose to fame with the hit duet Paper Te Pyaar with Miss Pooja, a track that made him an overnight sensation. His earthy charm and authenticity shone through in later songs such as Koi Chakkar Nai, Bebe Bapu, Babbar Sher and Multan VS Russia, cementing his place as a beloved voice in Punjab’s modern music scene.

Tributes have poured in from colleagues, fans and fellow artists, many remembering him as a grounded, warm presence who never lost touch with his roots. His sudden passing has left the Punjabi entertainment world reeling, with many calling it an unimaginable loss.

Harman Sidhu is survived by his wife and young daughter. His death leaves a void not only in music, but also in the family and community that adored him. His voice, however, will continue to echo through the songs that made him immortal.
