Well known naat khwan Mehboob Hamdani passed away at Lahore on Wednesday, October 21. The veteran reciter was battling with cancer for the last several months, however, the cause of his death was brain hemorrhage. Mr. Hamdani took his last breath at Ittefaq Hospital.
Mehboob Hamdani started his career in the 60s with his brother Marghoob Hamdani. Their father was also a naat khwan and it was his wish to see both of them to follow his legacy.
“It was his encouragement that my elder brother and I devoted ourselves to naat recitation,” he said.
