Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, one of the most renowned Pakistani Ghazal and Classical singers globally, has built a reputation with hits like Zatoori Tha, Habibi, Bol Na Halke, and Orre Piya. He has also lent his soulful voice to the OSTs of numerous popular Pakistani shows. With a reputation as one of the highest-paid singers in the industry, Rahat’s concerts attract packed audiences, often with hefty price tags.
Recently, Rahat performed at the iconic Wembley Arena in London, where his son, Shahzaman Khan, joined him on stage. Shahzaman, now pursuing a career in singing, has started gaining attention for his talent. However, with his rising fame, people have begun comparing him to the legendary Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, a comparison that has sparked discussions online.
Rahat, in response to these comparisons, humbly shared his thoughts. He expressed, “The show was record-breaking – truly a blessing from Allah. I can’t claim that my son sings like Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, as that’s for the audience to decide. If people see potential in him, I’m grateful. I’m overwhelmed by the love he’s receiving, but Shahzaman still has a long way to go. He must work hard and prove himself further.”
While Rahat is proud of his son’s achievements, he emphasized that Shahzaman’s journey is just beginning. The internet has been buzzing with mixed reactions regarding the comparisons to Nusrat. Many fans agree that Shahzaman has talent but feel that comparing him to a legend like Nusrat is unfair. A few have also criticized the situation, calling it nepotism, questioning whether Shahzaman’s career is solely due to his father’s influence.
Despite the mixed reviews, Shahzaman continues to build his career, and fans eagerly await his future musical contributions. The debate over his comparisons with Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan only adds to the excitement surrounding his rise.
