On October 20, 2026, many celebs from Bollywood were present at the naming ceremony of Bappi Lahiri Marg, meant to honour the timeless legacy of Bappi Lahiri. Maharashtra CM Fadnavis was present at this grand occasion and was felicitated by Bappi Lahiri’s family during the event.
Among the attendees were Gulshan Grover, Jeetenrda, Suniel Shetty and his good friend Jackie Shroff. This was also Jackie Shroff’s first public sighting after that firing incident on his song, Tiger Shroff.
Gulshan Grover shared some words of praise for the legend. He said, “He is a legend in cinema, music and art. He has earned such immense renown and acclaim. He has produced pathbreaking, extraordinary work, so it is a matter of great pride and honour that an artist of his stature is being recognised in this way… I don’t think there is a single song of his that I don’t like.”
Jeetendra was also present at this occasion and relished some good memories with Bappi Lahari who he worked with on a good number of projects. He said, “We were both neighbours. I have worked on 40 films with Bappi Da. My producers and directors were always very happy, because he provided both good service and good music… I am very happy that I came to this function.”
Suniel Shetty, upon attending the naming ceremony, shared some words of excitement about the well-deserved recognition. “I think this should have happened many years ago. But better late than never. My family and I are absolutely thrilled. It’s truly wonderful. There isn’t just one song… all are good.”
At the ceremony, he also shared some personal views regarding the recent event involving the firing on Tiger Shroff. He said, “The whole world loves Tiger and Jackie Dada, and if something like this can happen to him, it could happen to anyone. It shouldn’t have happened. Tiger is so focused on sports and exercise…”
He also continued to talk about his relief that Tiger was fine. He added, “It is so, so important for us to stay safe. For me, Jackie Dada is a childhood friend, and I just hope everything turns out well. I’m also relieved that Tiger is fine…”
