Music composer duo Sajid-Wajid has given several hit tracks to music lovers for decades. But last year, Wajid Khan passed away due to kidney infection and complications owing to COVID-19. Now, setting an example of what pure brotherly love looks like, Sajid Khan, in a bit to keep his brother alive through him, has adopted Wajid's name as his surname. In his latest interview, the music composer said, '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 will be till the end. So what if he isn’t physically present, I feel his presence all the time. I have started composing tunes I never thought I would and I think it’s because of him. I feel that Wajid is with me during those times'. Sajid also recalled his meetings with Wajid in his last days and said, 'I was so close to Wajid that I met him in the ICU wearing the PPE kit much against everyone’s advice.' He further said, 'There came a point when I thought if I had to go, I would go with him, but not without seeing him or being by his side. It is extremely difficult to fill that void. He has been a great support and saw me through the difficult phase.' Talking about the late music composer, Wajid passed away at the age of 47 following kidney issues which reportedly emerged after contracting the COVID-19. In the statement issued by his family at that time, it was stated 'He had a successful kidney transplant last year and he was undergoing treatment for a throat infection'. Meanwhile, on the work front, Sajid is currently a celebrity mentor in a music reality show.
