In a new video released from the Mirchi Music Awards that were held in Mumbai on March 8, Swastik Bansal can be seen performing the popular song. For the tribute, he was joined on the stage by his mother Rema Lahiri, Bappi's daughter. Singer Sonu Nigam was also present on the stage.
Swastik started singing as a collage of pictures of the late singer-composer appeared on the screen on the stage. The clip showed Rema tearing up as she heard the song. Swastik also broke down towards the end of his performance and hugged singer Sonu Nigam. It was Sonu who completed the rest of the song as the audience members stood up to pay respect to Bappi.
Bappi Lahiri's last on-screen appearance was also with Swastik, when they went to Bigg Boss 15 to promote the latter's song Bachcha Party. The singer-composer had developed a chest infection and was being treated for the ailment earlier this year. He was discharged from Mumbai's CritiCare Hospital on February 15, but his condition worsened in the night and he died at the hospital.
