Man who knit India and Bharat through theatre passes away
Veteran Indian playwright and theatre director Habib Ahmed Khan ‘Tanvir’ died on June 8, in Bhopal, aged 85, after a brief illness. Tanvir was reportedly admitted to hospital three weeks ago with breathing difficulties.
He leaves behind a daughter, Nagin, who is a Hindustani vocal singer, having debuted at the home of Bhopal-based dhrupad maestros Umakant and Ramakant Gundecha.
