Assam Remembers Zubeen Garg on His First Heavenly Birthday: Flood of Emotional Tributes from Family and Artists

Guwahati: Social media overflowed with grief-stricken yet loving tributes as Assam marked the first birthday of iconic singer-composer Zubeen Garg in his physical absence, with family members, close friends, and fellow musicians pouring their hearts out in moving posts.

Fashion designer Garima Saikia Garg, Zubeen’s wife, shared a deeply personal message: “From this life to the next, we will keep writing our story, Goldie… Happy Birthday! Stay well.” Her words underscored the eternal bond that transcends life and death.

Zubeen’s elder brother-like figure, Arun Garg, wrote, “Dada, I always pray you remain smiling, healthy and at peace wherever you are. Happy Birthday, My Everything.”

Singer Dikshu Sarma posted an emotional note: “Zubeen da, sending you countless birthday wishes today. Keep blessing us so we can continue doing good work in your name.”

Zubeen’s sister, Palmee Borthakur, expressed raw pain and lingering concern for justice: “Last year you held us with so much love. Today it hurts unbearably not to see you. I don’t know where you are… stay safe this time, don’t trust anyone.”

Popular vocalist Priyanka Bharali hailed him as an immortal force: “O great leader, on your birthday, I offer my boundless love and service. You remain forever green, eternal – our light, our sun! Happy Birthday, King. Your legacy lives on forever.”

Singer Zublee Baruah, a longtime collaborator and admirer, wrote: “To the most beloved birthday boy… we should have been celebrating together today. Sending endless love with your favourite Sting song, ‘A Thousand Years’. A thousand years of love and respect, Dada.”
