- Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has offered treatment to the ailing ghazal singer Mehdi Hassan in India.
- The 84-year-old patriarch, now on ventilator in a private hospital in Karachi in Pakistan with a serious lung condition, hails from Rajasthan's Shekhawati region.
- Though nobody from the family lives in their native Luna village in Jhunjhunu district there are childhood friends like 91-year-old Narain Singh Shekhawat, still remembering him as a young boy taking music lessons from his father Azim Jaan and wrestling in the sand.
- Young Mehdi had left the village one year before Partition at the age of 12.
