After Rishi Kapoor and Irrfan Khan, Bollywood has lost one more gem. Music composer Wajid Khan of Sajid-Wajid fame has passed away. It is said that he was COVID-19 positive and was being treated at Surana Hospital in Chembur, Mumbai.

He was on the ventilator for the last four days, after his situation started getting worse. Kidney infection was the beginning and then he got critical."


The music composers started their Bollywood career in 1998 with the film Pyar Kiya Toh Darna Kya.
