In a heart-wrenching tribute amid mourning for Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, Bigg Boss fame Rahul Vaidya unveiled a video capturing the politician’s last public appearance filled with melody. The December 6, 2025, event saw Pawar lost in the charms of ‘O Mere Dil Ke Chain’, the iconic track from ‘Mere Jeevan Saathi’ picturized on superstar Rajesh Khanna.
For almost two hours, Pawar urged Vaidya to play one favorite after another, humming enthusiastically. The singer’s Instagram post reads: ‘Never thought this would be our final meet. An untimely farewell that’s surreal. Rest in peace, Ajit Dada.’ The clip shows pure bliss on Pawar’s face, a stark reminder of life’s fragility.
Tragedy struck Wednesday when his Learjet crashed in Baramati, claiming five lives including security staff and crew. Thursday’s state funeral was attended by top leaders like Amit Shah and Raj Thackeray, with sons performing the last rites. Bollywood mourned with posts from Vivek Oberoi, Kangana Ranaut, and others.
Maharashtra’s three-day mourning period reflects the void left by Pawar. With police reports and AAIB inquiry underway, this musical memory stands as a beacon of Pawar’s warmth, blending politics with melody in an unforgettable way.
