Sidhu Moosewala killing: Bollywood mourns the Punjabi singer's demise

| @indiablooms | 30 May 2022, 12:06 pm

Mumbai/IBNS: Several Bollywood celebrities have mourned the demise of popular Punjabi singer and Congress leader, Sidhu Moosewala, who was shot to death in Mansa Sunday.

Actor Ajay Devgn tweeted, "Stunned by the shocking death of #SidhuMoosewala. May Waheguru give his loved ones strength in their hour of grief. RIP departed soul Still trying to wrap my head around this one."

Actor Vicky Kaushal wrote on Instagram in Punjabi, "Dil da nai maada."

Swara Bhasker tweeted, "This is so tragic Moosewala was amongst the first artists to lend support to the #FarmersProtest
Deeply unfortunate. Condolences to the bereaved families."

Singer Mika Singh tweeted, "Bro โฆ@iSidhuMooseWala you’ve gone way too soon. People will always remember your name, fame, the respect you earned and all your hit records. You made those and they will never be forgotten. Both me and your fans will miss your hit line."

Actor Nimrat Kaur said, "Heartbreaking to learn of the tragic untimely loss of #SidhuMoosewala. Deepest condolences and prayers to the family, all his fans and loved ones. Rabb mehr karey."

A day after the Punjab government withdrew the security of 400 VIPs including Moosewala, the popular singer was shot to death while he was travelling in a car along with his friends.

Severely-injured Moosewala and his friends were rushed to a nearby hospital, where doctors declared him dead.

Moosewala had unsuccessfully contested the 2022 Assembly elections from Mansa constituency on a Congress ticket.

He lost to AAP's Vijay Singla, who was recently sacked by Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann from his Cabinet on corruption charges.

The singer-turned-politician was facing four criminal cases, including two for shooting objectionable scenes.

He was famous for his unique rapping style and known for doling out a number of chartbuster tracks.
