Renowned Indian folk singer and Padma Bhushan awardee Sharda Sinha passed away at the age of 72 on November 5 due to complications from cancer. The celebrated singer, best known for her contributions to Bhojpuri, Maithili, and Hindi folk music, was admitted to AIIMS following health issues related to her cancer treatment. Sinha’s passing has left an indelible mark on the world of Indian folk music, as fans, family, and admirers remember her legacy. In the wake of her death, a heartfelt Facebook post she shared after her recent birthday, recalling her late husband’s affectionate gestures, has caught her fans' attention. Her emotional tribute to her husband, who passed away just a few weeks prior, provides a poignant glimpse into her enduring love and loss.
Sharda Sinha’s final tribute to her late husband
In a deeply emotional Facebook post dated September 30, Sharda Sinha shared memories of her husband, Brajkishore Sinha, who passed away on September 22. Just a week after his death, Sinha reminisced about how he had celebrated her birthdays every year, quietly waking up early to buy her roses and her favourite breakfast. She wrote, "When everyone at home used to be fast asleep on my birthday, Sinha Sahab would quietly wake up, buy me roses, and wait until I woke up to wish me." She also recalled how he would look for an excuse to indulge in junk food on her birthday, which she often tried to restrict for health reasons.
Her post resonated deeply with her followers, who admired the love and warmth that Sinha and her husband shared throughout their 54-year marriage. This year marked a particularly poignant birthday for Sinha, as it was the first one she celebrated without her husband by her side, a loss that she expressed through her moving words.
Remembering their last meeting
In her Facebook post, Sinha shared the details of her last meeting with her husband, which took place on the evening of September 17. She recalled saying goodbye to him, assuring him she would return in a few days. She wrote, “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.’" She described how he kept looking at her as she left, a moment she now realises was their last farewell.
Reflecting on the encounter, Sinha shared how she and her children, Vandana and Anshuman, still felt his presence in their home. Her words, “I still feel his presence. My kids still feel that their father is just out for some work and would return soon,” painted a picture of the quiet but profound grief that filled their lives. She posted a photograph from that meeting, showing her husband with teary eyes holding their granddaughter, a moment that has since become symbolic of their final goodbye.
‘Mai jald hi aaungi’: Sharda Sinha’s final promise
Sinha’s Facebook post became even more poignant with her final words to her husband, a promise that she would join him soon: "Mai jald hi aaungi" ("I will join you soon"). The phrase has since resonated deeply with her fans, capturing the depth of her sorrow and longing. Less than five weeks after making that promise, Sinha passed away, fulfilling, in spirit, her heartfelt pledge to her husband.
