Music composer Sajid Khan turned deeply emotional as he opened up about losing his brother and musical partner, Wajid Khan. As he continues to build his ambitious new musical movement WASAKA, Sajid made it clear that the dream was never his alone — it was always theirs.
Speaking from the heart, Sajid said, “No, it's nothing like that. And it was our dream, it was the dream of both of us brothers. And I will be very honest with you. We both have a different kind of training. And whenever we worked, I always lived for my younger brothers. I always worked for Wajid. If I had bought a car like that, I would have told him to buy a bigger car, you know, because I already had this idea that I want to see you as a big man, you know, I want to see you, the Rockstar, because once, poor guy, people insulted him and got him removed from a recording studio. He came to me in his childhood days and cried.”
He continued, recounting a defining childhood moment: “So, then I told him, are these people big people? He said, ‘Yes, Shahid Bhai, these music composers are very big.’ So I said, ‘Since yesterday, you are also a music composer, so maybe it's possible.’ The master was listening to both of us brothers, and it was my passion that drove him, so whatever creativity he handled, I used to handle everything differently, but then both of us brothers were trained in music, and I don't want to forget that we are real blood.”
Sajid also addressed how the industry often tried to create differences between them. “And my intention was always to make Wajid look good, to make Wajid look good, and the world also considered Wajid to be very talented, and I never felt bad about that, but those people used to think of us as — they used to differentiate between us, saying, ‘This one demands money. This one talks about talent.’ So, someone has to do it. Because Wajid was the kind of person we were, no matter how much we worked, we were in dire straits.”
Opening up about their struggles, he added, “Our families were in dire straits because even making money was a different art. It's a different business. Especially in my line, I had to do all that. But then I used to tell Wajid, ‘Dude, everyone says that to me. Don't you feel bad when they say that to you?’ I said, ‘Wajid, leave it, friend. You know who I am, and I know what I am.’ That's why they used to tell me, ‘Sajid, no one knows about you as much as I do.’ I said, ‘I know how talented you are and what a jerk you are.’”
With visible conviction, Sajid concluded, “So, with that kind of a thing, then I took it over and I said, ‘There's no use in thinking about it. There's no use in getting sympathy.’ Nobody likes sympathy. Everybody loves action. So I said, let's get into the action. And Wasaka is the new action.”
For Sajid Khan, WASAKA isn’t just a project — it’s a promise. A promise to carry forward the shared dream, the brotherhood, the passion, and the unstoppable energy of Wajid. And as he boldly states, this is no time for sympathy — it’s time for action.
