They are my Mama's (maternal uncle) sons, but they are more than my own brothers. Wajid Bhai was a father figure in my life.

Danish Says “I had come to Mumbai with the dream of becoming a singer. But he suggested that I can become a lyricist because he liked my writing and introduced me to Salman (Khan) Bhai.

After coming to Mumbai, I rented my own place but I would hardly stay there. I would always be at Wajid Bhai's house, even at night, till before my marriage a few years ago.

He would treat me like a younger brother and a son. I have written so many songs for him, 'Tera Dhyan Kidhar hai Tera hero Idhar hai', 'Main hoon Superman Salman ka fan'.

The last song we did together was 'Bhai Bhai' (sung by Salman Khan and released on Eid.)”

Danish was very emotional and said “It’s over a year now that I have lost my father figure Wajid Bhai and today on his birth anniversary I dedicate my newest Album ‘Mast Barsaat’ to him and hope he will bless me from heaven.
