Remembering Harman Sidhu: A Voice That Touched Millions

Harman Sidhu was best known for his breakthrough track Paper Te Pyaar, a cassette-era favorite that resonated deeply with Punjabi audiences. The song not only brought him widespread recognition but also turned him into a sought-after performer at stage shows, public events, and cultural festivals.

Over the years, Sidhu built a loyal fanbase with songs such as:

• Koi Chakkar Nai

• Bebe Bapu

• Babbar Sher

• Multan VS Russia

A significant part of his success also came from his collaborations with Miss Pooja, one of the leading female voices in Punjabi music. Their duets featured catchy melodies, emotional appeal, and vibrant Punjabi folk influences.

Sidhu’s journey in music showcased his versatility, vocal strength, and ability to connect with listeners across generations.

Past Controversies

In 2018, Harman Sidhu faced legal trouble when he and some friends were arrested for possession of drugs. During interrogation, the singer admitted to a six-to-seven-month period of drug addiction, revealing that he purchased narcotics from a Nigerian supplier based in Delhi, where prices were lower compared to Punjab and Haryana.

Police spokesperson Surjeet Singh had stated at the time:

“During interrogation, Sidhu told police that he has been a drug addict for the past six to seven months. He purchases the drug from a Delhi-based Nigerian national at a cheaper rate; it costs very high in Punjab and Haryana.”

Despite the controversy, Sidhu continued to work on his music and made attempts to rebuild his artistic career.

Family, Fans, and Industry in Mourning

Harman Sidhu is survived by his wife and young daughter, who now face a heartbreaking void in their lives. Fans across social media platforms have been expressing their grief, sharing his songs, heartfelt messages, and memories from his performances.

Artists from the Punjabi music industry have also posted tributes, calling him a “pure soul,” “immense talent,” and “a voice gone too soon.”

The loss of Harman Sidhu has revived ongoing discussions around road safety in Punjab, especially on the Mansa–Khiala route where several serious accidents have taken place. Locals and safety advocates are urging authorities to implement stronger precautions, better lighting, and improved monitoring to avoid future tragedies.
