Fakhruddin Khan was a student of Abdul Latif Khan, sent to train in Bhopal by his father, the well-known harmonium player Mehmood Dholpuri of Dholpur. He was a sweet and friendly boy and was enthusiastic about sarangi and practice. But he wasn't bursting with talent and suffered derision by ALK and his other students. He was known as "Gopa" around the house. I heard that he died young. Rest in peace.
