Sharda Sinha's final Facebook post

Sharda Sinha's last Facebook post for late husband Brajkishore Sinha included this picture.

In Sharda's last Facebook post, she shared a picture in which she stood next to her husband Brijkishore. Their granddaughter sat and smiled in Brijkishore's lap. Sharda shared this post days after Brijkishore's death and recounted her last meeting with her husband.

“I met him for the last time on the evening of September 17. Before leaving, I told him, ‘I will return in three days, please take care of yourself.’ He said, ‘I will be absolutely fine. You stay healthy, and do return soon.’ He was looking at me the whole time. Who knew this was our last meeting?" Sharda wrote in the caption.

"I still feel his presence. My kids, Vandana and Anshuman, still feel their father is just out for work and will return soon. This is a picture from our last meeting. The silence and his absence are killing me. In the picture, you can see his teary eyes with his granddaughter, and I am assuring him, ‘I will come to you soon.’ ‘Mai jald hi aaungi, maine bas yehi kaha tha unse (I will join you soon, that is what I told him),’" she added.

Sharda Sinha breathes her last

Sharda Sinha, known as the "Bihar Kokila" for her melodious renditions of folk music, was admitted to AIIMS Delhi and was under treatment at the hospital's oncology department. The singer had been battling multiple myeloma, a form of blood cancer, which has significantly affected her health since 2018.

She breathed her last on the first day of the Chhath Puja, a day particularly significant to her fans due to her iconic Chhath Mahaparv songs.
