Lahiri, who popularised disco music in India in the 80s and 90s, died following multiple health issues on Tuesday night in Mumbai. He was 69.

The singer-composer, a familiar figure for many with his trademark gold chains that he wore for luck and his sunglasses, was known for his songs in several films of the late 70s-80s. These included "Chalte Chalte", "Disco Dancer" and "Sharaabi". His last Bollywood song was Bhankas for the 2020 film "Baaghi 3".
