The
untimely
demise
of
music
director
Shravan
Rathod
of
the
popular
Nadeem-Shravan
duo,
is
a
huge
loss
for
all
music
lovers.
He
breathed
his
last
due
to
COVID-19
complications
on
April
22,
2021.
When
the
news
of
his
death
broke
in
media,
many
celebrities
from
the
entertainment
industry
expressed
their
shock
over
this
on
their
respective
social
handles.
Eminent
personalities
like
Akshay
Kumar,
Ajay
Devgn,
AR
Rahman,
Shreya
Ghoshal
and
others
paid
tribute
to
Shravan
Rathod
with
heartfelt
posts
on
social
media.
Renowned
playback
singer
Udit
Narayan
also
reacted
to
the
news
of
Shravan's
demise
while
speaking
with
ETimes.
He
recalled
how
the
late
composer
had
got
in
touch
with
him
from
his
recent
trip
to
Kumbh
Mela.
Udit
Narayan
was
quoted
as
saying,
"Shravan
bhai
had
gone
to
the
Kumbh
Mela
recently
and
had
called
me
from
there
saying,
'I
have
come
to
the
Kumbh
Mela
for
the
holy
bath.'
I
told
him
that
he
should've
told
me
about
this
earlier
and
that
I
could
have
also
gone
with
him.
But
after
he
got
off
the
phone,
I
thought
to
myself
that
during
the
pandemic,
why
did
he
go
there?
He
already
had
health
issues,
yet
he
went
there.
He
did
not
listen
to
others
and
went
there,
and
now
he
is
no
longer
with
us.
May
his
soul
rest
in
peace."
Udit
further
told
ETimes
that
he
still
couldn't
believe
that
Shravan
is
no
more
and
said
that
the
late
music
composer
loved
him
like
an
elder
brother.
"Itna
pyara
insaan,
itna
zabardast
music
director,
they
(Nadeem-Shravan)
ruled
the
music
industry
in
the
90s.
Mujhse
unhone
ek
se
ek
gaana
gawaya
aur
bahut
saara
pyaar
diya.
He
loved
me
like
an
elder
brother.
Whenever
there
would
be
trouble
or
any
problem,
he
would
call
me
or
come
home
and
say,
'Tumhe
kya
takleef
hai?
Mujhe
batao,
main
tumhara
bada
bhai
hoon.'
Aisa
pyaara
insaan
humein
chhod
ke
gaya.
Logon
ke
sukh-dukh
ko
samajhte
the
woh.
Such
an
artiste,
a
fankaar
humare
beech
nahi
rahe.
In
these
dark
times,
he
has
left
us,"
ETimes
quoted
the
singer
as
saying.

Narayan
