Bijnor: Fayaz Ansari, a makeup artist from Bijnor who accompanied former Indian cricketer Irfan Pathan for the ongoing T20 World Cup, tragically drowned in a swimming pool in the West Indies on June 21. Ansari, who had been Pathan's personal makeup artist for a long time, was part of Pathan's team for the T20 World Cup, where Pathan is working as a commentator.
Ansari, originally from Nagina in Bijnor, had moved to Mumbai 22 years ago and started his own salon. Pathan became a regular at Ansari's salon, eventually making him his personal makeup artist and taking him along on international trips.
Mohammad Ahmed, Ansari's cousin, stated that Ansari drowned in a hotel swimming pool in the West Indies on Friday evening, June 21. His sudden death has deeply affected his family, including his wife and relatives.
Ahmed mentioned that Irfan Pathan is personally managing all formalities in the West Indies to repatriate Ansari's body to India. The family plans to receive the body in Delhi, a process expected to take about three to four days.
