Music Composer Shravan Rathod of Nadeem-Shravan fame is no more. He was admitted to the hospital after testing positive for COVID-19. Shravan (66) passed away on Thursday. He was critically ill after testing positive for the deadly virus. He was admitted to Raheja Hospital, Mahim, Mumbai a few days ago. The music composer had co-morbidities and was on ventilator support as his condition got critical. The musician had been under observation at the hospital for a few days.
The sad demise of Shravan came as a deep shock to the music industry. Shravan along with his partner Nadeem has been widely regarded as the musicians who brought back melody in the early nineties with Aashiqui, their superhit soundtrack of 1990. The two have also given scores for films like Saajan, Sadak and Phool Aur Kaante the next year. After their split in mid 2000s, the duo reunited to compose for David Dhawan's "Do Knot Disturb" in 2009.
