Mumbai: Singer Rahul Vaidya paid a heartfelt tribute to the late Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra Ajit Pawar by revealing the politician’s favourite song picks.
Rahul shared that in December, he performed in front of the politician, and Ajit Pawar ended up requesting his favourite songs one after the other for around 2 hours.
However, the singer had no clue that this would be his last meeting with the Deputy CM.
Remembering his last meet with Ajit Pawar, Rahul penned on the photo-sharing app, “This was on 6th DEC 2025 where ajit dada kept requesting his fav songs one after another for about 2 hours non stop! I never thought this would be the last time I met him..(sic).”
Mourning the sudden loss of the politician, he added, “An untimely goodbye that feels unreal and deeply personal. Ajit Dada Pawar Gone too soon, remembered forever. May your soul find peace, Dada. Om Shanti.”
In the video dropped by Rahul on his IG, he was seen singing Kishore Kumar’s blockbuster number “O Mere Dil Ke Chain” from Rajesh Khanna and Tanuja’s 1972 outing “Mere Jeevan Saathi”.
We could also see Ajit Pawar crooning the song along with Rahul, creating some memorable moments.
Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister and NCP chief Ajit Pawar passed away in a plane crash near Baramati on Wednesday.
