Salman Khan joined Sajid Ali Khan and close friends to honour the birth anniversary of late music director Wajid Khan. Wajid, one half of the famous music duo Sajid-Wajid, would have turned 47 on October 7, 2024. Though he passed away in 2020, Wajid’s memory continues to live on in the hearts of his family and friends.

In a heartwarming video shared on Sajid-Wajid’s official Instagram, Sajid can be seen cutting a chocolate cake alongside Salman Khan, who sat next to him. As Sajid fed Salman a piece of cake, the group sang “Happy Birthday Wajid” to celebrate the life of the beloved music director. The emotional caption accompanying the video read, “Wajid u will and u r still alive in our hearts n in our everyday life yes I know u with me my love my prayers always find u @salmankhan @beingsalmankhan #brothers #love #prayer. (love) u bro.”

The duo of Sajid-Wajid had a long-standing professional relationship with Salman, having composed music for some of his biggest films, including Sultan, Tere Naam, Mujhse Shaadi Karogi, Dabangg, and Ek Tha Tiger. Their iconic soundtracks have become synonymous with Salman Khan’s cinematic journey.

In 2021, Sajid opened up in an interview about coping with Wajid’s death and managing work alone. He shared how difficult it was to continue without his brother by his side, but he chose to focus on maintaining close relationships with industry friends like Salman Khan and Sajid Nadiadwala. Sajid also revealed a deeply emotional moment when he composed music shortly after Wajid’s passing, saying, “I made my mother hear the song, and she started crying saying, ‘Yeh toh Wajid hai.’”

Fans flooded the comment section of the birthday post with touching tributes, praising both Salman and Sajid for keeping Wajid’s memory alive.
