The "Raajneeti" composer lost his battle to cancer on Saturday, a day after he turned 49.

Amitabh, who has featured in films like "Baabul" and "Baaghban" -- for which Shrivastava composed music -- was seen consoling his wife Vijayata Pandit at the funeral, held at the Oshiwara Crematorium here on Saturday afternoon.

Singers Pandit Jasraj, Udit Narayan, Javed Ali and Kunal Ganjawala; composers Ismail Darbar, Sajid-Wajid and Lalit Pandit; filmmakers Shekhar Kapur and Anees Bazmee, were also present at the venue.

He had earlier battled with cancer in 2010 and his cancer relapsed for the third time.
