Indian music director Wajid Khan, one of the famous duo Sajid-Wajid, passed away at a Mumbai hospital late on Sunday night. He was 42.

Wajid was rushed to the hospital apparently after he complained of severe chest pain and was admitted to the ICU.  However, according to some reports, he was suffering from coronavirus and was put on life support after he developed complications. Some reports also suggested he was suffering from some kidney-related health issues before catching coronavirus.

Several people from the Indian film and music industry took to Twitter to announce this sad news and express their emotions for one of the most successful music directors of Bollywood.

Film actress Parineeti Chopra remembered Wajid as the “nicest man”.
