Pankaj Udhas, the ghazal maestro known for his soul-stirring melodies, bid farewell to the world on Monday in Mumbai.

The 72-year-old maestro succumbed to a prolonged illness, as confirmed by his daughter Nayyab Udhas on social media. His final rites are set to take place tomorrow.

Udhas’ musical journey was one of passion and dedication, rooted in a deeply musically inclined family in Gujarat.

Born as the youngest among three brothers, he carved his own path in the world of music, following the footsteps of his brothers, Manhar Udhas and Nirmal Udhas.

Initially drawn to the tabla, Pankaj’s love for ghazals blossomed, leading him to become one of the most celebrated voices in the genre.

With timeless classics like Chitthi Aayi Hai from Naam, Na Kajre Ki Dhar from Mohra, Chandi Jaisa Rang, Ek Taraf Uska Ghar and Ahista, Udhas enchanted listeners with his velvety voice and poignant lyrics.

His mastery over Urdu added depth to his renditions, captivating audiences both in India and abroad.

Udhas’ musical legacy spans over four decades, boasting more than 50 albums and countless compilation albums.

His first ghazal album, Aahat, released in 1980, marked the beginning of a prolific career that touched the hearts of millions.

Following the news of his demise, an outpouring of condolences flooded social media platforms from celebrities and politicians alike.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi paid tribute to the maestro, recognising his profound impact on Indian music.

Union Minister Anurag Thakur hailed Udhas’ contributions to the music industry, while singer Sonu Nigam reminisced about the profound influence Udhas had on his childhood.

Actor Abhishek Bachchan expressed his deep sorrow at the loss, acknowledging Udhas’ irreplaceable role in the world of music.

As Udhas leaves behind a rich musical legacy, his timeless ghazals will continue to resonate with audiences, ensuring that his melodious voice remains etched in the annals of Indian music history.
