In his illustrious career as a singer and music composer, Bappi Lahiri delivered countless chartbusters. From making disco a rage to spreading the beauty of love with his voice, the legendary singer conquered the music industry for decades. Bappi Da, who breathed his last on Tuesday at 69, was an inspiration. He didn't just inspire new-age singers but also filmmakers.

Karan Johar was one of those filmmakers who was inspired by Bappi Da's songs. So much so that the title of his film-Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna- was derived from one of Bappi Da's songs. Reportedly, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham was also a title derived from his discography.
