"Ustadji was doing 'Riwaz' (practice) a few days before his demise. He sung an unimaginable note on Gandhar (Ga). Khan sahib stopped singing. Then he said quietly "Our zyada din nahi. Yeh gandhar jise lag jata hai, wo insaan zyada din rehta nahi" (Not many days more.....whoever sings this Gandhar, doesn't live long .... ) """

Sadly he died in a car accident in Calcutta on February 13, 1974 ]
