Today,
Bollywood
woke
up
to
shocking
news
as
music-composer
Wajid
Khan
of
Sajid-Wajid
duo,
has
left
for
his
heavenly
abode.
Wajid,
42,
was
a
music
director,
composer
and
a
singer.
While
a
few
reports
claim
that
COVID-19
was
the
main
reason
behind
Wajid's
critical
health
condition,
music
composer
Salim
Merchant,
who
confirmed
the
news
of
Wajid's
death,
said
that
the
composer
was
hospitalised
a
few
days
ago
at
Surana
Hospital,
Chembur,
where
his
condition
deteriorated.
"He
had
multiple
issues.
He
had
a
kidney
issue
and
had
a
transplant
a
while
ago.
But
recently
he
got
to
know
about
kidney
infection...
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," Salim
told
PTI.
