‘People shed me Brahmaputra’

Jubin Garg’s music was his true identity, but at the same time he used to share his dreams and thinking openly. In an interview in January this year, he told how he wants to see his life and death. He had said, ‘I am crazy, I want to give everything to people, not for myself. My studio is my home and I am happy here. He also expressed his wish that he wanted to spend on his last day in ‘Tilla’ on the banks of the Brahmaputra River. This is the same place which is also known as Borfukonar Tilla or Etakhuli Tilla. Zubin had said that there would be a small bungalow where they will stay and would like to merge in the river after death. He had said, ‘This is one of the most beautiful places one of the most beautiful places. When I die, people burn me there or shed me in the Brahmaputra. I am a soldier, I am like a Rambo.

Zubine used to do not only singing but also social service

Jubin Garg was not only a singer, but he was also an actor, musician and social worker. He gave Bollywood many hit songs- ‘Ya Ali’ (Gangster), ‘Dil Tu Hi Bat’ (Krish 3), besides thousands of Assamese and Local songs. His music was not just a source of entertainment, but also a bridge connecting people’s feelings. His contribution in social service is also unforgettable. He collected relief materials, medicines and clothes for the flood victims through the Kalaguru Artist Foundation. From football charity matches to the collection of money, he made every effort to help the needy. During the Kovid epidemic, he converted his Kothi in Guwahati into a Kovid Care Center. Many people were saved here. This is the greatest proof of their humanity and thinking of living for others.

His thinking clearly reflects how deep he was connected with his culture, his roots and the land of Assam.
