The emotional gathering was held on July 23, 2024, in Mumbai, just days after Tishaa succumbed to a prolonged battle with cancer on July 18. The event was a poignant reminder of the fragility of life and the deep bonds that tie individuals together in the entertainment industry.

The prayer meet was marked by an outpouring of grief, particularly from Sonu Nigam, who was seen inconsolably weeping. A viral video captured the heart-wrenching moment when Sonu buried his face in Krishan Kumar’s lap, overwhelmed by emotion. This image of a grieving Sonu, being comforted by Tishaa’s father, highlighted the deep personal connections beyond the professional facades in Bollywood.

Tishaa Kumar, born on September 6, 2003, to Krishan Kumar and Tanya Singh, had been undergoing cancer treatment in Germany. Despite her illness, she made occasional public appearances and was sometimes seen at T-Series film screenings.

Her most recent appearance was at the premiere of Ranbir Kapoor's film "Animal" on November 30, 2023. Her untimely demise at the young age of 20 has left her family and close associates in deep mourning.

The prayer meet was attended by various prominent figures from the film industry, including singers Shaan and Udit Narayan, who were also seen grieving the loss. The community came together to support Krishan Kumar, who himself has been a pivotal figure in the industry, especially known for his association with T-Series.

Fans of Sonu Nigam were deeply moved by the video, and many took to social media to express their condolences and support. Some comments reflected on the historical relationship between Sonu Nigam and T-Series, acknowledging the long-standing bond that transcends professional collaborations. Despite past differences, the emotional scene underscored the enduring connection and mutual respect shared among industry stalwarts.
