Music Composer Wajid Khan Passes Away

Music composer Wajid Khan of the popular Sajid-Wajid duo passed away last night. He was also suffering from kidney problem for the past few years. Salim Merchant confirmed the news and wrote on Twitter, Devastated with the news of the passing away of my brother Wajid of Sajid -Wajid fame. May Allah give strength to the family. Safe travels bro. @wajidkhan7 you’ve gone too soon. It’s a huge loss to our fraternity. I’m shocked & broken.” Singer Harshdeep Kaur wrote, “My deep condolences to #WajidKhan Ji’s family. Still can’t believe that he is no more. Have always seen him smiling and spreading joy around him. Huge loss to the music industry.” Sajid-Wajid have been Salman Khan’s favourite music composers. It was Salman Khan who gave them big break in Pyaar Kiya Toh Darna Kya in 1998. Sajid-Wajid recently composed Salman Khan’s lockdown songs Bhai Bhai and Pyaar Karona. May his soul rest in peace!
