Varanasi, Aug. 21 (PTI): Shehnai maestro Ustad Bismillah Khan, one of India's most celebrated classical musicians, passed away in the wee hours today.
The 91-year-old Bharat Ratna awardee, who had been ailing for quite some time, died of cardiac arrest at the Heritage hospital here.
Khan had been admitted to the hospital on Thursday with age-related health problems and weakness brought on by his refusal to eat solid food.
