Early Life and Training
Shahadat was attracted to music, his family tradition, from his early boyhood. At the age of seven, he started taking lessons on Sarod from his father. Later on he became the disciple of his uncle Ustaad Bahadur Khan, the celebrated Sarod player of the sub-continent. In 1972, Shahadat performed instrumental duet with his uncle Ustaad Bahadur Khan at the 'Alauddin Music Conference' in Dhaka, which was highly lauded by audience. In 1974, Shahadat was honored with a State Award for his musical performance.

Famous quotes containing the words early, life and/or training:
“Three early risings make an extra day.”
—Chinese proverb.
“O, reason not the need! Our basest beggars
Are in the poorest thing superfluous.
Allow not nature more than nature needs,
Man’s life is cheap as beast’s. Thou art a lady;
If only to go warm were gorgeous,
Why, nature needs not what thou gorgeous wear’st,
Which scarcely keeps thee warm. But, for true need—
You heavens, give me that patience, patience I need!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“When a man goes through six years’ training to be a doctor he will never be the same. He knows too much.”
—Enid Bagnold (1889–1981)
