“He was such a gentle, loving soul,” the music composer said as he recalled his first meeting with him, as quoted by Hindustan Times.
“I had met him first through a person from Assam. I made him sing in Fiza, and we got along like a house on fire. He was very emotional about his sister, who he had lost in an accident. He used to sing in Assamese, Bengali, Manipuri, Boro, even Marathi, he had told me! Malyali songs as well. His live-in concerts were deadly. Yeh khabar sunke mann khatta ho gaya hai. [Hearing this news has left me feeling really upset]” he said.

The composer also spoke about the health problems Garg was facing, revealing that he often experienced sudden blackouts.
“He used to tell me he has blackouts suddenly. I told him, ‘Go and get yourself checked.' Then we lost track (of it) over the years. Usne phone bhi nahi kiya, chala gaya. [He didn't even call; he just left.] The call of the hills, of his own Assam, was very strong,” he added.
