Members
Sajid Ali Khan is the elder son of tabla player Ustad Sharafat Ali Khan and his wife, Razina Khan. He is married to Lubna Khan.
Sajid studied at the Academy of Asiatic Cinema and Television. His maternal grandfather was Ustad Faiyyaz Ahmed Khan, a Padma Shri awardee.
Wajid Ali Khan was the younger son of artist and tabla player Sharafat Ali Khan and Razina Khan. He joined his elder brother Sajid Khan to form the artistic duo Sajid–Wajid.
Wajid studied at Mithibai College where he met his college sweetheart Kamalrukh. The two dated for almost 10 years while Wajid was heavily involved in tours and in the musical formation. Family restrictions also postponed the marriage as Kamalrukh Khan, of Zoroastrian (Parsi) faith, refused to convert to Wajid's Sunni Muslim faith. Eventually, they married each other under the Special Marriages Act that allowed her to keep her religion and marry without conversion despite the opposition of Wajid's family. The couple had two children, Arshi, a daughter (born ) and Hrehaan, a son (born ).Hindustan Times: Wajid Khan's wife Kamalrukh Khan on being pressurised to convert by his family: 'Want to focus on the trauma that I have faced'
In 2014, Wajid filed separation papers because of continuing religious and parental pressure but the couple never divorced. Kamalrukh did not receive alimony since the case was pending in court when Wajid died. Their children, however, received maintenance amounts from their father while he was alive pendente lite as per the Court's Order, according to Kamalrukh's interview with Sri Iyer of PGuris, where she also discusses how his family has usurped his property, not leaving anything for their children. Kamalrukh continues working as a clinical hypnotherapist and wellness coach. She also writes a regular fortnightly column for the Hindustan Times titled "Weekend Fix for the Soul".Kamalrukh Khan website: About Me
