Veteran music composer Shravan Kumar Rathod passed away on Thursday while battling COVID-19 at SL Raheja hospital in Mumbai. Known for melodies in the '80s and '90s, Shravan was on ventilator support and due to diabetes, his lungs were majorly affected. Heartbroken by the sudden demise of his partner, Nadeem Saifi spoke to a leading daily with tears in his eyes. Nadeem, who is currently in Dubai, said he is feeling helpless for not being physically present with Shravan's family as they bid adieu to him. He also revealed that Shravan's wife and son are also unwell.
"My Shanu is no more. We have seen an entire life together. We saw our highs, we saw our lows. We've grown up with each other in many ways. We never lost touch and no physical distance could ever separate the two of us. I am in deep pain as I say this but my friend and my companion, my partner of so many years is no more. It has left such a vacuum. I spoke to his son who was inconsolable. We had been in touch on a regular basis for the last several days when Shravan complained of ill-health and had to be moved to a hospital. Shravan's wife and son are also unwell and are still in the hospital. I am feeling so helpless that I cannot be there physically for them, to help them and bid farewell to my friend," Nadeem told.
