Pankaj Udhas, Renowned Ghazal Singer, Passes Away at 72 Due to Pancreatic Cancer: A Loss to Music World

Renowned ghazal singer Pankaj Udhas passed away today at the age of 72. His daughter Nayaab shared the news of his demise on social media. According to ghazal singer Jazim Sharma, speaking to Dainik Bhaskar, Udhas had been battling pancreatic cancer.

Due to difficulty in breathing, he was admitted to Breach Candy Hospital in Mumbai 10 days ago. On Monday morning at 11 o’clock, he took his last breath. Pankaj is survived by his wife Farida and two daughters, Nayaab and Reva. His mortal remains are currently kept at the hospital. Once his brothers and other family members arrive, his body will be taken home. His final rites will be conducted on Tuesday.

Journey of Ghazal Maestro Pankaj Udhas: From Humble Beginnings to Musical Excellence

Pankaj Udhas, the illustrious ghazal singer, was born on May 17, 1951, in Jetpur, Gujarat, into a distinguished family with roots in the zamindari system. His ancestral home was in the town of Charkhaadi near Rajkot. His grandfather was a zamindar, and his family had significant ties to Bhavnagar, where his father, Keshubhai, served as a government employee.

Music ran deep in the Udhas family; while Pankaj’s father played the Israj (a musical instrument), his mother, Jeetuben, had a passion for singing. Influenced by his family’s musical inclination, Pankaj, along with his two brothers, developed an interest in music from a young age.

Despite being born into a family with musical inclinations, Pankaj initially had no aspirations of pursuing a career in singing. However, his life took a turn during the India-China war when Lata Mangeshkar’s patriotic song “Aye Mere Watan Ke Logon” was released. Moved by the song’s emotional resonance, Pankaj performed it, earning him admiration from the audience. In a surprising turn of events, he received a reward of 51 rupees from one of the listeners, marking his first earnings in the music field.

Recognizing Pankaj’s potential after witnessing his outstanding performances at school, his parents decided to enroll him in the Rajkot Music Academy, following in the footsteps of his accomplished brothers, Manhar and Nirmal Udhas, who had already made a name for themselves in the music industry.

Pankaj Udhas’s journey from a modest upbringing in Gujarat to becoming a celebrated ghazal singer exemplifies his dedication, talent, and the pivotal role of his family in nurturing his musical aspirations. His story serves as an inspiration for aspiring musicians, highlighting the transformative power of passion and perseverance in achieving one’s dreams.
