Bhojpuri actress Aamrapali Dubey paid tribute to the legendary singer Sharda Sinha, who passed away on November 5. Known as the “Bihar Kokila,” Sinha left an indelible mark on Indian music and was widely respected for her soulful voice and contributions to Bhojpuri and Maithili music. She was a recipient of the Padma Bhushan award and was beloved for her unique ability to capture the essence of traditional music from Bihar and neighboring regions.

Aamrapali shared a heartfelt tribute on her social media, posting a photo of herself touching Sharda Sinha’s feet at a public event. In the image, Sinha is seen smiling as she blesses Dubey, a moment that reflects the deep respect the actress held for the singer. Dubey captioned the photo, “disheartened and how. Chati Maya aapko apne charno mein sabse sarvottam sthaan pradan kare,” concluding with “Om Shanti” as a sign of her prayers for the singer’s soul.

Sharda Sinha, who passed away due to refractory shock caused by septicemia, had a career that inspired many. One of her most iconic songs, Kahe Tose Sajna, featured in Salman Khan’s 1989 hit film Maine Pyar Kiya, remains a timeless romantic track in Bollywood. Despite earning only Rs 76 for this song, Sinha’s career soared soon after, with her eventually earning up to Rs 20-30 lakhs per song. Her journey, marked by struggle and resilience, made her a role model for countless artists.
