India, Jan. 26 -- Late ghazal legend Pankaj Udhas was conferred with the Padma Shri, India's fourth highest civilian award, 19 years ago, in 2006. And now, he has been posthumously honoured with the Padma Bhushan. Calling it a "bitter-sweet experience", his elder daughter, Nayaab Udhas tells us, "I was so happy and emotional when I got a call to inform us about dad's honour. I felt so happy and grateful that the government of India has recognised his contribution towards not just music, but also towards noble causes such as helping people work towards the cure of thalassemia and cancer. Dad took ghazal to the world and made it relatable. I wish he was around to celebrate with us. We miss him so much more today."
