The legendary composer was remembered by the members of the singing fraternity as many expressed condolences. From AR.

Mourning Shravan Rathod, composer Salim Merchant posted an emotional tweet: "Shravan bhai is no more. My respects and condolences to his family. Nadeem-Shravan have given us some of the biggest hits in the 90s. COVID-19 has taken so many lives. Don't know when will this end... Really saddened by this news."
