Zubeen Garg's prediction in last interview

While talking to novelist-author Rita Chowdhury in his last podcast, Zubeen shared, “I stayed in Mumbai for 12 years, I got bored of the city life. People ask me why I don't live in Mumbai? I said, 'A king should never leave his kingdom. There is no king there. When Lata Mangeshkar died, did they do anything? No. When Rajesh Khanna died, there was just news - Rajesh Khanna died. There is no king. But if I die here in Assam, Assam will remain closed for 7 days.'”ALSO READ:Zubeen Garg's Last Film Roi Roi Binale Is Wife Garima Saikia's 'Main Purpose' In Life - 'He Couldn't Complete Dubbing'He further added, “I live like that, so they are scared.

Rohit was like, 'What kind of man is he?' Pritam said, 'He is like this. He is a king. He lives like that.' If you have work, come here to Assam. I will not go.”
