Singer and actor Rishabh Tandon, known to many as Faqeer, has died at the age of 35 after suffering a sudden heart attack in Delhi. The shocking news has left his fans heartbroken — especially after his final
Instagram post with his wife, shared on Karwa Chauth earlier this month, began circulating online as a bittersweet reminder of their love.
A sudden loss
According to reports shared by paparazzo Viral Bhayani, Rishabh was visiting his family in Delhi when the incident occurred. A close friend confirmed that the artist died suddenly following a heart attack.
The news of his untimely death has stunned the music community. Messages of grief have flooded social media, as many remember him for his calm energy and deep passion for music.
His last post with wife
Just weeks before his death, Rishabh had celebrated Karwa Chauth with his wife, Olesya, and posted photos of their rituals together. The images — which now feel painfully poignant — show the couple smiling as they perform the ceremony. In one frame, Rishabh is seen lovingly looking at Olesya through the channi (sieve), while she does the same.
After his death, Olesya shared an emotional tribute on Instagram, posting several photos with the caption:
“I can’t find the words… You left me ….. My beloved husband, friend, partner… I swear I’ll make all your dreams come true… You’re not dead, you’re with me, my soul, my heart, my love, my king.”
Her words have moved fans and friends, many of whom have expressed their sorrow in the comments section of her post.
