- 22
This year has not proved to be a good one and the COVID-19 crisis is here which is for real. In the midst of all this, our country has lost some real gems which include Bollywood stars Irrfan Khan and Rishi Kapoor and noted sports personalities Chuni Goswami and Balbir Singh Sr. Now, in a shocking state of events, music composer Wajid Khan of Sajid-Wajid fame has passed away. He had been admitted to a hospital in Mumbai due to complications with his health and later passed away. The news about his demise has been confirmed by Sonu Nigam.
As per sources, Wajid had not been keeping well for quite some time and had frequent health issues. Several reports stated that he passed away due to COVID 19. However, music composer Salim Merchant shared with PTI that he passed away due to Kidney infection and a complication related to it. He mentioned, "Wajid had multiple issues. He had a kidney issue and had a transplant a while ago. But recently he got to know about kidney infection. He was on the ventilator for the last four days, after his situation started getting worse."
The musician along with his brother Sajid has composed some amazing music numbers which will be remembered for generations. Wajid Khan's sudden demise has left behind a void in the film industry which will be very difficult to fill in the upcoming years. Sonu Nigam, while remembering the late music composer, writes, "My Brother Wajid left us."
Here is what Sonu Nigam has posted on Instagram:
As soon as the sad news about the music composer's demise circulated over the internet, many of his former colleagues and members of the film fraternity expressed shock over the same. Salim Merchant, Vishal Dadlani, Harshdeep Kaur, Milap Zaveri, and many others are grief-stricken after getting to know this shocking news and have taken to social media to bid their last goodbyes to the departed soul.
