Bollywood star, actor and singer Zubin Garg died tragically before his 53rd birthday.

Zubin was a singer, songwriter, actor, director, poet, screenwriter, film and music producer, and composer. He sang in forty languages and dialects and was proficient in at least a dozen musical instruments, making him Assam's most successful contemporary musician.

According to databases, Zubin has recorded more than 32,000 songs during his career.

As Business Today reported today, the singer, who had become a cultural icon in his home state, died shortly before his 53rd birthday in Singapore while diving. Resuscitation efforts were unsuccessful—help arrived too late.

Jonky, the artist's sister, a singer and actress, died in a road accident in Assam in 2002 during a tour – immediately before another concert.

The artist has been singing since the age of three. Since the mid-1990s, he has made a career in Bollywood, first as a singer and later as an actor. He has received dozens of awards and nominations, as well as appeared in over two hundred screen projects.
