Zakir Hussain needs no introduction. The Tabla maestro was a child prodigy who mastered the art of tabla at the mere age of seven. The artist left for his heavenly abode on December 15, 2024, after he was hospitalised in San Francisco for a critical heart condition. While all his fans and well-wishers know everything about his professional feat, not much is known about his personal life.
For the unversed, Zakir Hussain was married to the dynamic Kathak dancer, Antonia Minnecola. She was also his manager. The duo tied the knot in 1978 and were proud parents to two daughters, Anisa Qureshi and Isabella Qureshi.
