Veteran singer-composer Bappi Lahiri is no more! He passed away at the age of 69 in Mumbai's CritiCare Hospital. Lahiri's career in the music industry spanned over fifty years and he was popularly called 'Disco King'. Apart from his music, Lahiri was also popular for sporting heavy gold jewellery. Now, an old video of Kapil Sharma's reality show performance is doing rounds on the internet, where the ace comedian is mocking Bappi Lahiri's gold jewellery.
Kapil Sharma is imitating Inspector Shamsher in the video, who is threatening to put Bappi Lahiri behind the bars for stealing gold jewellery. He further calls Bappi Lahiri a 'Maharani of Jaipur' for his heavy jewellery (Itna sona pehen rakha hai tumne, music director kum, Jaipur ki Maharani zyada laga rahe ho).
