With each passing day, this year seems to be the most difficult one for the entertainment film industry. After the sudden demise of power-house performers, Rishi Kapoor and Irrfan Khan, the Hindi film industry lost yet another immensely talented music-composer Wajid Khan of the famous Sajid-Wajid duo. 42-year-old Wajid died of cardiac arrest. He had also been diagnosed with Coronavirus. In the past few years, he has not been keeping well owing to his kidney ailments.

In the career, Sajid-Wajid have given some of their best work with superstar Salman Khan. As per reports, Wajid has left behind property worth crores for his family.

Wajid along with his brother Sajid started his career in Bollywood with Salman Khan’s ‘Pyar Kiya To Darna Kya’ in 1998. Post that they went on to work extensively for Salman. Together they gave us some of the most popular chartbuster songs. In the 90s they collaborated with Sonu Nigam and scored the music of his album ‘Deewana’.
