In the music industry, Sajid-Wajid is an established name. The composer duo has produced a number of hits including “Mashallah,” “Soni De Nakhre” and “Hud Hud Dabangg”, amongst others. In 2020, Wajid Khan passed away due to COVID-19 complications. However, brother Sajid Khan has stated that he’ll hold his brother alive in people’s memory. The composer has tailored Wajid’s name as his surname so that people still call him ‘Sajid Wajid.’
In an interaction , Sajid opened up on his sentiment of adding Wajid’s name to his. He stated, “I don’t want people to call me Sajid Khan, so I have adopted Wajid as my surname. Now, my name is Sajid Wajid and that’s how it is going to be till the end. So what if he isn’t physically present, I really feel his presence all the time. I’ve started composing tunes I never thought I would and I think it’s due to him. I feel that Wajid is with me during those times.”
The musician, who is busy with the reality show Indian Pro Music League, spoke about how Salman Khan was an enormous help throughout his toughest time, post Wajid’s demise.
“After I lost him, I told Salman (Khan) bhai, ‘The day I feel I don’t have the fire in me, I’ll tell you that I am done’. He has been a great support and saw me through the difficult phase. The confidence I feel today and the fire inside me is burning even more,” the “Chori Kiya Re Jiya” composer mentioned.
Remembering his brother Wajid, he concluded, “It is extremely difficult to fill that void.”
