TWO LYRICISTS DEPART A YEAR APART | 16 January, 2023

It’s an eerie coincidence that two lyricists, who worked together on some films, passed away exactly a year apart. Nasir Faraz, lyricist of such films as Bajirao Mastani, Krrish, Kites and Aetbaar, breathed his last yesterday (15th January). Exactly a year ago, on 16th January, 2022 to be precise, Ibrahim Ashq had bid the world adieu after he contracted Coronavirus. He had written songs for several films of Rakesh Roshan including Krrish, as well as for Aetbaar.
