Papon: It's humbling to know that my music could be a part of someone's healing

Singer Papon, celebrated for his soulful melodies, recently touched the heart of a fan, Geetu, whose recovery from a severe illness was aided by his music. Despite her health struggles, Geetu was determined to meet Papon, and her dedication led to an unexpected opportunity to perform with him. Singer Papon, known for songs such as Moh Moh Ke Dhaage, Bulleya (Sultan), Jiyein Kyun (Dum Maaro Dum), and Kyon (Barfi!), was the subject of a recent Instagram post by a fan who said his music helped her during a serious illness. Talking about the inciden, Papon said, 'It's humbling to know that my music could be a part of someone's healing. As artists, we live for these connections, they remind us why we do what we do. Moments like these stay with you for a lifetime.' In June, Geetu was hospitalised with a severe health condition and was unable to take up a chance to perform at Bhoomi 2025 with Papon and TICE. In her post, she wrote that she had told her mentors she would attend despite not being able to walk properly, 'just to meet the artist whose music meant so much' to her. On July 25, Geetu received a late-night call from musician Kalyani Nair offering her a slot in the project. She described meeting Papon and being greeted as 'Geet' as a significant personal moment. 'You have healed me when therapists couldn't. You have inspired me to follow my passion. I will be your number one fan forever,' her post read.
