It's a big loss for the Hindi film industry. Yesterday, veteran singer Mohammad Aziz passed away following a cardiac arrest at Nanavati hospital in Mumbai. He was 64 years old.

Born in West Bengal's Ashoknagar, it was Anu Malik who gave him his first big break with 'Mard Taangewala' from Mard. Over a career spanning over three decades, he went on to work with big names from the music industry like Kalyanji-Anandji, Laxmikant-Pyarelal, Rahul Dev Burman, Naushad, OP Nayyar, Bappi Lahiri, Rajesh Roshan and Ravindra Jain.
