Renowned Punjabi singer and actor Rajvir Jawanda has passed away at Fortis Hospital in Mohali, succumbing to severe injuries sustained in a devastating road accident nearly two weeks earlier. The 35-year-old artist, a resident of Sector 71 in Mohali, had been placed on life support immediately following the incident and fought valiantly against his deteriorating condition.
The accident occurred on September 27 near Baddi in Himachal Pradesh, when Jawanda’s motorcycle struck stray cattle that unexpectedly crossed the roadway. The collision resulted in critical head and spinal trauma, leaving him in an “extremely critical” state from the outset. Medical professionals at the hospital reported that his neurological status showed scant brain function and failed to respond to aggressive interventions over the ensuing 12 days.
Jawanda, celebrated for his emotive voice and heartfelt compositions, captured the essence of Punjabi heritage in songs like “Surname,” “Kamla,” “Mera Dil,” and “Sardari.” These tracks, infused with themes of cultural pride, propelled him to stardom shortly after his debut. He entered the music scene in 2014 with the single “Munda Like Me,” marking the start of a prolific career that blended soulful melodies with relatable storytelling. As noted in his official Apple Music biography, Jawanda initially dreamed of a career in law enforcement but ultimately pursued his passion for music, a decision that resonated deeply with audiences.
