Mumbai: Ameen Sayani, the iconic radio presenter of the popular show “Binaca Geet Mala”, passed away on Tuesday of a heart attack. Sayani’s son, Rajil Sayani confirmed the news of his father’s death to Indianexpress.com. Ameen Sayani began his stint with Radio Ceylon in 1951. His presentation and show became an immediate hit when All India Radio banned the transmission of any Bollywood numbers. It went through several name changes but never lost its essence — Binaca Geetmala, Hit Parade and Cibaca Geetmala.
