Heartbroken. Both @SajidMusicKhan and @wajidkhan7 have been close & true friends. The kind who might see the light on and show up at our studio in the middle of the night just to meet and talk and share a laugh. Can't believe Wajid and I will never speak again.

The year 2020 has been the darkest since Coronavirus outbreak, but for India it seems to be much more painful as the industry lost three legendary personalities this year.
Versatile Bollywood actor Rishi Kapoor passed away in Mumbai, aged 67. The popular actor had been unwell for a while and was admitted to a hospital in Mumbai.
According to reports, Rishi Kapoor was battling cancer relapse.
The Bollywood actor returned to India last September as he underwent treatment for cancer in the US for almost a year. In February, Kapoor was hospitalized twice due to his health issues.
Also, Actor Irrfan Khan passed away in Mumbai aged 53 while battling a colon infection.
The actor was hospitalized on April 28 evening and placed in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) because of a colon infection. The legend survived by his wife Sutapa Sikdar and two sons Babli Khan and Ayan Khan.
The news comes just two days after the actor’s mother Saeda Begum breathed her last on Saturday in Jaipur. However, owing to the ongoing lockdown in India, the actor could not physically attend his mother’s last rites.
