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.
