As the nation continues to mourn the sudden death of Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, singer Rahul Vaidya has shared a poignant throwback video showing the late politician’s lighter side , his love for music. The clip, now widely circulated online, captures Pawar at a live performance in December 2025, enthusiastically requesting favourite songs for nearly two hours straight.
Pawar ,who was killed in a plane crash near Baramati on January 28, 2026 , appears in the video seated in the audience, enjoying Vaidya’s performance and urging the singer to continue song after song. In his emotional Instagram post, Vaidya wrote that he never imagined that would be their last meeting, describing an “untimely goodbye that feels unreal and deeply personal.”
The video has struck a chord with followers remembering Pawar not just as a politician but as someone who found joy in music , a side that resonated with many amid grief over his passing.
Pawar’s last rites were held in Baramati with full state honours on January 29, with leaders including Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis among attendees. The Maharashtra government announced three days of state mourning following the fatal crash, and authorities have launched an official investigation into the accident.
The footage shared by Vaidya has offered a touching personal glimpse into Ajit Pawar’s life, highlighting his warmth and simple pleasures during a moment otherwise dominated by political loss and shock.
