"Bappi da and papa were judging a show and I used to go with Papa because I really enjoyed watching shooting, so that was the time when I started interacting with Bappi da on a regular basis. I always remembered him as being extremely energetic and an extremely good performer on stage. He was a very warm and funny person, I remember he had seen my first single Aankhon Ke Ishaare and he was like 'Bohot accha kiya hai beta, Gana bhi bahut accha hai aur dance bhi accha kiya hai tumne' and he gave me blessings. We really have lost a legend and his demise is very unfortunate. May his soul rest in peace," he said.
