Editing Jagjit Singh (section)

==Personal life==
In 1990, Vivek Singh (Jagjit Singh and Chitra's son) died in a road accident at the age of 20. This came as a profound shock to Jagjit and Chitra Singh. They gave up music for a full year after the death. At the end of that period, Jagjit returned slowly to music, but Chitra announced her retirement and declared that she would not sing or record any more songs. In 2009, his step-daughter, Monica Chowdhary, aged 50, died by suicide.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://indianexpress.com/article/mumbai/chitra-singh-daughter-found-hanging-was-depressed-says-family/|title= Chitra Singh daughter found hanging; was depressed, says family|date= 30 May 2009}}</ref>

Singh had suffered from numerous ailments like [[diabetes]] and [[hypertension]] during his later life, and had undergone two heart bypass surgeries in 1998 and 2007. A chain smoker for decades, he had stopped smoking after his first heart attack.
