well.
Whilst

“I
am
in
deep
pain
as
I
say
this
but
my
friend
and
my
companion,
my
partner
of
so
many
years
is
no
more.
It
has
left
such
a
vacuum.
I
spoke
to
his
son
who
was
inconsolable.
We
had
been
in
touch
on
a
regular
basis
for
the
last
several
days
when
Shravan
complained
of
ill-health
and
had
to
be
moved
to
a
hospital.
Shravan’s
wife
and
son
are
also
unwell
and
are
still
in
the
hospital.”

have
composed
many
super-hit
songs
in
Bollywood
films
during
the
90s
and
early
2000s.
The
duo
first
got
their
big
break
with

Hain
Rahi
Pyar
Ke,
