Recently, there was a lot of buzz about the arrest of Pakistan’s legendary singer and qawwali maestro, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, at Dubai Airport. But the iconic singer took to Instagram to clear the air on Monday. He stated that he was not arrested. Instead, he underwent standard airport checks and routine questioning.
Rahat Fateh Ali Speak Up About Arrest
The singer, Rahat assured his fans that he is now back to his work commitments. The Dubai authorities had received questioning requests, which anyone could submit. He emphasized that his fans should not pay heed to “baseless and petty” news.
Jumping to his support, music director Farooq Rao confirmed that Rahat is in Dubai for his music recordings. Media reports suggest that Rahat’s former manager, Salman Ahmed, had filed complaints against him with the Dubai authorities. We’re all wondering why. This comes after a professional fallout a few months ago, where both Rahat and Salman lodged legal cases against each other following the manager’s dismissal.
Rahat Fateh Ali Khan is one of the highest-paid singers in Pakistan. He also posted a video on Instagram, denying the arrest.
He stated, “I am in Dubai to record my songs. Everything is fine. I request everyone not to pay heed to unfounded rumors. I’ll be back soon with you all in my beloved country. You will be entertained with super hit songs.” He filmed the video with the Dubai skyline in the background. Proving he is a free man in the city.
Rahat Fateh Ali Khan is the nephew of the late Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, a famous singer, songwriter, and music director. Specializing in qawwali, Rahat has worked with the biggest music producers in the Indian and Pakistani film industries. He frequently tours Dubai, Europe, the US, and other countries to perform.
Fans can now rest easy knowing that their beloved singer is safe and continuing his work. Rahat will soon return to Pakistan and release more super hit songs.
