Noted music composer and singer late Ravindra Jain had a long association
with Bhopal. He not only presented various shows in the city but, was to establish a music academy ‘Ravindra Jain Music Academy of Fine Arts’ in Bhopal.
The Bhopalites who had been very close to him are in big shock.
Talking about the sudden death of the legendary singer and composer, RK Sharma, secretary of the academy said, “Ravindra Jain is known for his mastery in music
compositions. In spite of being blind since birth he had this phenomenal talent. His death is a great loss for the music industry.”
Elaborating further, Sharma said, “He was getting intuitions a month before. When I met him in Mumbai he told me to finish the pending work of academy as soon as possible.” Talking about the academy, he said that the construction is nearly finished and the academy will start soon.
Sharma further added, “He always loved Bhopal deeply. He always said that Bhopal is a very organized city and the people here are so welcoming and so he always enjoyed presenting his shows in Bhopal.”
Jain, overcoming blindness became one of the most successful composers. He was given a big break by Raj Kapoor, for whom he composed super hit songs in movies such as Ram Teri Ganga Maili, Do Jasoos, and Heena. He widely composed music for many mythological movies and television serials.
Notably, late Ravindra Jain passed away on Friday due to multiple organ failure. He was suffering with urinary infection that caused him kidney problem. He was 71 and breathed his last at 4:10 pm at lilavati Hospital, Mumbai on Friday.
