Ustad Wahid Khansahab

Ustad Wahid Khansahab appeared in this award-winning Bengali film as an playback artist as well as an actor (old court musician at a Zamindar's court), and the music of the film was composed by his nephew Ustad Vilayat Khan. This film has won the 1958 best music award in an international film festival. Both Ustad Vilayat Khan and his brother Ustad Imrat Khan received taalim from Ustad Wahid Khansahab after their father Ustad Enayat Khansahab passed away (Vilayat Khansahab was only 9 years when his father passed away). Incidentally Ustad Wahid Khansahab was court musician in several princely-states. He was succeeded by his son Ustad Hafeez Khan and Ustad Aziz Khan. Ustad Aziz Khan is the father and Guru of Ustad Shahid Parvez Khan.
