Bollywood superstar Salman Khan took to social media to mourn the demise of Wajid Khan of the sibling composer duo Sajid-Wajid. "WajidVil always love, respect, remember n miss u as a person n ur talent, Love u n may your beautiful soul rest in peace ..." (sic) tweeted Salman Khan.
Music composer Wajid Khan succumbed to a heart attack in the early hours of Monday, June 1. The 42-year old singer-composer was reportedly influenced by COVID-19 apart from battling heart and kidney-related ailments.
Sajid-Wajid shared a particular bond with Salman Khan and was good friends with the actor. Actually, it had been Salman who gave them their Bollywood break, in the past in 1998, in his home production PyaarKiyaToDarnaKya. Sajid-Wajd composed the song Teri jawaanibadi mast masthai in that film.
The duo shot to fame composing lots of the songs in the three Dabangg films of Salman Khan. The Dabangg actress SonakshiSinha also tweeted expressing grief. "Rest in peace WajidBhai! You left us too soon... Will remember how you called me your lucky charm... deepest condolences to the family!" (sic) wrote the actress.
Sajid-Wajid recently composed a few non-film songs for Salman through the ongoing lockdown, among which was a number titled 'PyaarKarona', a pop anthem encouraging all to fight Coronavirus. The song released in April was sung by Salman and also featured the actor in the video.
The composer duo also recently composed Salman's Eid special song, BhaiBhai, which talks of communal harmony. As a singer, Wajid recorded many hit songs in Salman films, including Do you wanna partner and Soni de nakhre (Partner), HudhudDabangg (Dabangg), TujheAksa Beach (God Tussi Great Ho), Jalwa (Wanted), and PandeyjiSeeti and Fevicol Se (Dabangg 2).
