Punjabi Singer Rajvir Jawanda dies at 35 after Motorbike Accident

Punjabi singer Rajvir Jawanda has died at the age of 35, days after a serious motorbike accident left him on life support.

The singer passed away at Fortis Hospital in Mohali, where he had been receiving treatment for severe head and spinal injuries. He had been on life support for 11 days before doctors confirmed he had died.

Rajvir, who was travelling on a motorcycle in Himachal Pradesh’s Solan district on September 27, reportedly swerved to avoid cattle that had wandered onto the road.

Police said the crash occurred in the Baddi area as he lost control of the vehicle while on his way to Shimla.

Doctors had described his condition as “extremely critical with minimal brain activity and no significant improvement”. He remained critical from the moment he was admitted to hospital.

Rajvir is survived by his wife and two young children.

Before his death, he had become a beloved figure in the Punjabi music industry.

His hit songs included ‘Tu Dis Painda’, ‘Khush Reha Kar’, ‘Sardaari’, ‘Surname’, ‘Afreen’, ‘Landlord’, ‘Down to Earth’ and ‘Kangani’.

Alongside his music, Rajvir also made his mark in Punjabi cinema, starring in films such as Subedar Joginder Singh, Jind Jaan and Mindo Taseeldarni.

He began his career as a police officer after training with the Punjab Police, before turning to music.

His debut single ‘Munda Like Me’ marked his entry into the industry, and two years later, his song ‘Kali Jawande’ brought him widespread fame.
