Renowned Punjabi vocalist Rajvir Jawanda is fighting for his life after a harrowing motorcycle accident that left him with life‑threatening injuries. The 35‑year‑old, best known for the chart‑topping track "Kali Jawande Di," was en route to Shimla on Saturday when his bike went out of control near the small town of Baddi in Solan district, Himachal Pradesh.

What happened on the road

Police reports say that Jawanda lost traction on a winding stretch of the highway, possibly colliding with a herd of cattle that wanders the lanes in the hilly region. The impact threw him off his motorcycle, causing severe head trauma and a spinal injury that required immediate medical attention.

First responders rushed him to the nearest civil hospital, but his condition deteriorated swiftly. He suffered a cardiac arrest on the way to the facility, prompting doctors to perform emergency resuscitation. Within hours, he was air‑lifted to Fortis Hospital in Mohali, Punjab, where a team of neurosurgeons and intensive‑care specialists took over his care.

Fortis officials confirmed that Jawanda was admitted at 1:45 PM on Saturday in an "extremely critical" state. He is currently on a ventilator, with constant monitoring of his brain activity, heart rhythm, and spinal stability. Doctors have warned that his chances of recovery hinge on how swiftly the swelling in his brain can be reduced and whether his spinal cord has sustained irreversible damage.

Industry reaction and public outpouring

The news has sent shockwaves through the Punjabi entertainment fraternity. Icons such as Gurdas Mann, Babbu Mann, Kulwinder Billa, and Gippy Grewal have either visited the hospital or posted heartfelt messages on social media, urging fans to keep Jawanda in their thoughts.

International star Diljit Dosanjh joined the prayer chain, sharing a video of himself lighting a candle and asking followers to chant for a miracle. Even Punjab’s Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann made a personal trip to the hospital, posting a photo with the singer’s family and pleading for public prayers.

Fans have flooded Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook with hashtags like #PrayForRajvir and #RajvirJawandaRecovery. Many have organized virtual prayer sessions, and a few local NGOs have started a crowdfunding campaign to support the medical bills, which are expected to run into lakhs of rupees.

Beyond the celebrity circle, road‑safety advocates have seized the moment to highlight the dangers of motorbike travel on mountainous roads. Himachal’s transport department released a statement reminding riders to wear helmets, avoid speeding on sharp bends, and be vigilant for stray livestock—a common hazard in the region.

While the hospital has refrained from releasing further updates, medical experts say that the next 24‑48 hours are crucial. "We are monitoring intracranial pressure closely and have placed a spinal brace to prevent further damage," one surgeon told reporters. "If the brain swelling can be controlled, there is a chance of stabilising his condition," they added.

For Jawanda’s family, the ordeal is a nightmare. His wife, who was traveling with him, survived with minor injuries and now spends her days at the bedside, holding his hand and praying. Their two young children have been taken under the care of close relatives, who have urged the public to respect their privacy during this tumultuous time.

As the Punjabi music world watches anxiously, the hope is that the combined prayers, medical expertise, and perhaps a bit of luck will pull Rajvir Jawanda back from the brink. Until then, the industry, fans, and even strangers unite in a single, urgent plea: bring the beloved singer home safe.
