Wajid Khan had been suffering from kidney infection and also had a transplant recently. He had been hospitalized in Chembur a few days ago and when he was tested for COVID-19, the results came positive. Salim Mercant broke the news of his death on his social media and it came as a shock to the entire nation.He had been a part of the industry for decades and had also co-composed Salman Khan’s Bhai Bhai just a few days back! May his soul rest in peace.
