"Wajid was a prankster in the real sense, who had a great sense of humour. His comments used to fill the room with laughter and he always had a smiling face. I have fond memories with him from all the recordings that we have had together. I remember he used to often praise and credit me for more than I deserved even when I sang a simple line. It's just unbelievable that a person like him is no more," said Alka.

"Thank God I didn't see him when he was unwell, because I will always remember him with the same mischievous smile and up to pulling someone's leg. Despite it all, I can still feel his infectious energy around us here," she added.
Wajid Khan, of Bollywood composer-duo Sajid-Wajid, died at the age of 42 in June.
