Singer-composer Wajid Khan of music director duo Sajid-Wajid, popular for their work on superstar Salman Khan's films such as Wanted, Dabangg and Ek Tha Tiger, died in early hours of Monday in a city hospital due to complications arising from a kidney infection, that included cardiac arrest and coronavirus infection.

"He had multiple issues. He had a kidney issue and had a transplant a while ago. But recently he got to know about kidney infection... He was on the ventilator for the last four days, after his situation started getting worse. Kidney infection was the beginning and then he got critical," Salim said.
Wajid's last composition was superstar Salman Khan's lockdown song 'Pyaar Karona'. As soon as the news of his death broke online, shocked Bollywood celebrities including Priyanka Chopra, Sonu Nigam, Priety Zinta, Shankar Mahadevan, and others took to social media to express grief and pay tribute.
