The great shehnai maestro USTAD BISMILLAH KHAN IS NO MORE. He breathed his last in the wee hours this morning. The Bharatha Rathna awardee was 91. I remember his soulful music in Dr. Rajkumar’s film “Sanaadi Appanna”. Yeshtu adbhutavaagi nudisidaare. It seems he used to play everyday at the Kashi Vishwanatha temple in Benares every morning since ages. Despite his fame, Khan’s lifestyle retained its old world charm and he continued to use the cycle rickshaw as his chief mode of transport till his death. Music world has lost a noble soul indeed. RIP, Bismillah ji. Dear Prithvi, Sorry to comment off the topic.
