Wajid Ali Khan was the younger son of artiste and tabla player Sharafat Ali Khan and Razina Khan. He joined to his elder brother Sajid Khan to form the artistic duo Sajid–Wajid. He also had a separate singing career as a solo act and was nominated for a number of awards as a playback artist.


Wajid studied at Mithibai College where he met his college sweetheart Kamalrukh. The two dated for almost 10 years while Wajid was heavily involved in tours and in the musical formation. Family restrictions also postponed the marriage as Kamalrukh Khan, of [[Zoroastrianism|Zoroastrian]] ([[Parsi]]) faith , refused to convert to Wajid's [[Sunni Muslim]] faith. Eventually, they married each other under the Special Marriages Act that allowed her to keep her religion and marry without conversion despite the opposition of Wajid's family. The couple had two children, Arshi, a daughter (born c. 2004) and Hrehaan, a son (born c. 2011).<ref name=ht>[https://www.hindustantimes.com/music/wajid-khan-s-wife-kamalrukh-khan-on-being-pressurised-to-convert-by-his-family-want-to-focus-on-trauma-that-i-have-faced/story-9LXlKABUrgZ74fcvH19AIM.html Hindustan Times: Wajid Khan’s wife Kamalrukh Khan on being pressurised to convert by his family: ‘Want to focus on the trauma that I have faced’]</ref>
Wajid Ali Khan was the younger son of artist and tabla player Sharafat Ali Khan and Razina Khan. He joined his elder brother Sajid Khan to form the artistic duo Sajid–Wajid.


In 2014, Wajid filed separation papers because of continuing religious and parental pressure and the couples divorced. Kamalrukh did not receive alimony since the case was pending in the court when Wajid died. Their children, however, received maintenance amount from their father ''pendente lite'' as per the Court's Order, according to Kamalrukh's interview to Sri Iyer of PGuris.{{citation needed|date=February 2021}} Kamalrukh continues working as a clinical hypnotherapist and wellness coach.

For other people with the same name, see Wajid Khan.

Sajid–Wajid
OriginSaharanpur, Uttar Pradesh, India
GenresSufi, Bollywood
Occupation(s)Music director
Years active1998–May 2020 (as duo)
June 2020-present Sajid Khan (as solo artist)

Sajid–Wajid was an Indian Bollywood Hindi film music director duo consisting of brothers Sajid Khan and Wajid Khan, the sons of Sharafat Ali Khan, a tabla player. Wajid Khan, the younger of the two brothers, died on June 1, 2020.[1]

Members[edit | edit source]

Sajid Ali Khan is the elder son of tabla player Ustad Sharafat Ali Khan and his wife, Razina Khan. He is married to Lubna Khan.

Sajid studied at the Academy of Asiatic Cinema and Television. His maternal grandfather was Ustad Faiyyaz Ahmed Khan, a Padma Shri awardee.

Wajid Ali Khan was the younger son of artist and tabla player Sharafat Ali Khan and Razina Khan. He joined his elder brother Sajid Khan to form the artistic duo Sajid–Wajid.

Wajid studied at Mithibai College where he met his college sweetheart Kamalrukh. The two dated for almost 10 years while Wajid was heavily involved in tours and in the musical formation. Family restrictions also postponed the marriage as Kamalrukh Khan, of Zoroastrian (Parsi) faith, refused to convert to Wajid's Sunni Muslim faith. Eventually, they married each other under the Special Marriages Act that allowed her to keep her religion and marry without conversion despite the opposition of Wajid's family. The couple had two children, Arshi, a daughter (born c. 2004) and Hrehaan, a son (born c. 2011).[2]

In 2014, Wajid filed separation papers because of continuing religious and parental pressure but the couple never divorced. Kamalrukh did not receive alimony since the case was pending in court when Wajid died. Their children, however, received maintenance amounts from their father while he was alive pendente lite as per the Court's Order, according to Kamalrukh's interview with Sri Iyer of PGuris, where she also discusses how his family has usurped his property, not leaving anything for their children.[citation needed] Kamalrukh continues working as a clinical hypnotherapist and wellness coach. She also writes a regular fortnightly column for the Hindustan Times titled "Weekend Fix for the Soul".[3]

Career[edit | edit source]

Sajid–Wajid first scored music for Salman Khan's Pyar Kiya To Darna Kya in 1998. In 1999, they scored music for Sonu Nigam's album Deewaana. They composed music for several films further. The music duo has also composed music for several films starring Salman Khan.[4] They were mentors on the reality shows Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Singing Superstar, Sa Re Ga Ma Pa 2012 and they composed the title track for the television reality shows Bigg Boss 4 and Bigg Boss 6. Sajid–Wajid also composed the IPL 4 theme song "Dhoom Dhoom Dhoom Dhadaka", with Wajid singing the title track.
