New Delhi, Oct 22: Singer-actor Rishabh Tandon, popularly known by his stage name Faqeer, passed away in Delhi on Tuesday night following a heart attack. He was 35.

According to a source close to the family, Tandon had been in Delhi since August as his father was unwell. “He died last night after a heart attack. He was in Delhi since August as his father was not well,” the source told.

Rishabh Tandon was best known for his soulful tracks such as Yeh Ashiqui and Ishq Fakeerana. Based in Mumbai, he lived with his wife, actor-model Olesya Nedobegova Tandon.
