Zubeen Garg (born Zubeen Borthakur (as; 18 November 1972 – 19 September 2025) was an Indian singer, composer and actor best known for his work in the Assamese, Bengali and Hindi music and film scenes.[3] Over his career he recorded songs in more than 40 languages and dialects, including Bishnupriya Manipuri, Adi, Boro, English, Goalpariya, Kannada, Karbi, Malayalam, Marathi, Mising, Nepali, Odia, Sanskrit, Sindhi, Tamil, Telugu and Tiwa.[4][5][6] He was also a multi-instrumentalist, credited with playing about a dozen instruments such as the anandalahari, dhol, dotara, drums, guitar, harmonica, harmonium, mandolin, keyboard, and tabla.[7] He was widely regarded as one of Assam's highest-paid singers.[8]
Early life[edit]
Garg was born in Tura, Meghalaya to Mohini Mohon Borthakur and Ily Borthakur, into an Assamese Brahmin family. He was named after the conductor Zubin Mehta and later adopted the surname Garg from his gotra.[9][10][11] His father served as a magistrate and also wrote lyrics and poetry under the pen name Kapil Thakur, while his mother was a singer.[12][13][14]
He completed his schooling at Tamulpur Higher Secondary School, studied higher secondary at Karimganj College and enrolled in a Bachelor of Science program at B. Borooah College before leaving college to focus on music.[15][16]
His younger sister, Jongki Borthakur, who was an actress and singer, died in a 2002 car accident; Zubeen later dedicated the album Xixhu (2002) to her memory.[12][14][17]
Garg often described himself as irreligious and stated that he did not follow any caste or religion.[18]
Controversies[edit]
In 2019, Garg sparked controversy after saying, in reference to breaking his sacred thread, “These Brahmins should be killed.” He later apologised for the remark.[9]
In April 2024, following remarks made during a Bihu performance that Krishna was not a god but a man, the Majuli District Satra Mahasabha banned him from performing at their events.[19]
Introduction to music[edit]
Garg started performing from a very young age, receiving his first lessons from his mother.[20] He trained on the tabla under Pandit Robin Banerjee for about eleven years, and learned Assamese folk styles under Guru Ramani Rai.[13][21][22] He began composing music while still at school.[citation needed]
Singing career[edit]
Beginning of singing career (1992–1995)[edit]
Garg's first major recognition came in 1992 when he won a gold medal for a western solo at a youth festival.[23] That year he released his debut Assamese album, Anamika. [24] His first recorded tracks included "Tumi Junu Pariba Hun"[25] and "Tumi Junaki Hubakh"[26] (released on the album Ritu in 1993). He followed with several Assamese releases, such as Xapunor Xur (1992), Junaki Mon (1993), Maya (1994) and Asha (1995). His bihu album Ujan Piriti proved commercially successful before he moved to Mumbai in 1995.[citation needed]
Bollywood singing career (1995–2013)[edit]
After relocating to Mumbai in 1995, Garg launched his Indipop efforts with the album Chandni Raat.[27] Over the following years he recorded several Hindi albums and tracks including Chanda (1996), Jalwa (1998), Jadoo (1999) and various remixes and compilations.[citation needed] He also provided playback for films such as Dil Se (1998), Doli Saja Ke Rakhna (1998), Fiza (2000) and Kaante (2002).[28] In 2003 he sang on soundtracks for films like Mudda-The Issue, Chupke Se, Mumbai Se Aaya Mera Dost and Jaal: The Trap.[29]
Bengali singing career (2003–2017)[edit]
Garg started working in Bengali cinema in 2003 with contributions to the film Mon.[citation needed] He expanded his role in 2004 by singing and serving as music director for Shudhu Tumi.[30] He continued to record Bengali film songs, including work on Premi (2005).[citation needed]
Breakthrough song "Ya Ali" and later work (2006–2025)[edit]
Garg achieved nationwide recognition with the song "Ya Ali" from the film Gangster, which earned him the GIFA award for Best Playback Singer in 2006.[31] He released the Hindi album Zindagi in 2007 and continued recording both Bengali and Hindi songs into the following years, contributing to films and albums across industries.[32]
Social work[edit]
Garg set up the Kalaguru Artiste Foundation to support charitable causes and frequently appealed for donations of clothes, medicines and other relief during floods in Assam.[33] He used his films and public profile to highlight issues such as alleged corruption in the APSC recruitment, notably through the film Kanchanjangha. [34][35][36]
He supported relief efforts by organising charity football matches and other fundraising activities.[37]
Garg was an active cultural figure during the Anti-CAA protests in Assam and was widely visible among artists who supported the movement.[38][39][40]
In May 2021, at the height of a COVID-19 crisis in Assam, he offered his two-storey home in Guwahati to be converted into a care centre to help address the shortage of hospital beds.[41]
Personal life[edit]
Garg married Garima Saikia, a fashion designer from Golaghat, Assam, on 4 February 2002.[42]
Death[edit]
On 19 September 2025, Zubeen Garg died in Singapore at the age of 52. According to reports, he suffered breathing problems during a scuba diving session, received CPR and was taken to Singapore General Hospital, where he was pronounced dead in the intensive care unit at about 2:30 pm IST.[43][44]
His passing prompted tributes across India. Prime Minister Narendra Modi paid tribute, calling him a singer who would be remembered for his "rich contribution to music".[45] Opposition leader Rahul Gandhi described the death as "a terrible tragedy", and Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma called it "an immense loss to the state and the nation", announcing the cancellation of BJP events for the day. [46] Union ministers Sarbananda Sonowal and Kiren Rijiju, and Assam Congress president Gaurav Gogoi, also expressed condolences and praised him as a source of pride for Assamese people.[47]
As a tribute to late Garg, a three-day state mourning from 20 to 22 September was declared by the Government of Assam.[48]
Legacy[edit]
A number of public tributes and memorials mark his influence. A 20-foot statue unveiled in Digboi during the Nazirating Tamuli Tourism Festival in December 2022 stands as a visible tribute.[49] In 2020 he inaugurated a bamboo footbridge across the Na Dihing river at Tengapani-Thepabari that had been named after him by villagers.[50][51]
A cremation site of Zubeen Garg is near Sonapur in outskirts of Guwahati.[52]
