Khan's first public performance as the leader of the qawwali party was at a studio recording broadcast as part of an annual music festival organized by Radio Pakistan, known as Jashn-e-Baharan. In 1971, after the death of his uncle Mubarak Ali Khan, Khan became the official leader of the family qawwali party and the party became known as Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Mujahid Mubarak Ali Khan & Party. However, Khan showed such an aptitude for and interest in qawwali, that his father finally relented. He had his heart set on Nusrat choosing a much more respectable career path and becoming a doctor or engineer because he felt qawwali artists had low social status. Initially, his father did not want Khan to follow the family's vocation. The tradition of qawwali in the family had passed down through successive generations for almost 600 years. Khan's family, which included four older sisters and a younger brother, Farrukh Fateh Ali Khan, grew up in central Faisalabad. He was the fifth child and first son of Fateh Ali Khan, a musicologist, vocalist, instrumentalist, and qawwal. His ancestors learned music and singing there and adopted it as a profession. His family originates from Basti Sheikh Darvesh in Jalandhar, Punjab in present-day India. Khan was born into a Punjabi muslim family family in Faisalabad, Punjab, Pakistan, in 1948. In addition to popularising qawwali music, he also had a big impact on contemporary South Asian popular music, including Pakistani pop, Indian pop and Bollywood music. He toured extensively, performing in over 40 countries. He engaged in collaborations and experiments with Western artists, becoming a well-known world music artist.

Jubin nautiyal is such a bad singer and then has the AUDACITY to remake NFAK’s songs. Had to listen to the original Ghum Hai Ya Khushi Hai Tu by NFAK thrice, so that I could un-listen the terribly composed Meri Zindagi Hai Tu from Satyameva Jayate 2 🤢 Nusrat Fateh’s fans are protesting on Twitter by sharing the original qawwali which, according to them, has been “destroyed by Bollywood”. Meri Zindagi Hai Tu, featuring John Abraham and Divya Khosla Kumar in the video, premiered on October 29 on YouTube and has since amassed nine million views. It was a ghazal titled Meri Zindagi Hai Tu by poet Nasir Kazmi, performed by Nusrat Fateh. And his latest release, Meri Zindagi Hai Tu, is not original either. He enjoyed immense success by ripping off another popular qawwali Dil Ghalti Kar Betha Hai in September. His version of Ankh Uthi Mohabbat has crossed one billion views on YouTube.

It was Bollywood’s continuation of its obsession with films that glorify Indian security forces and show them taking on Pakistan, a trend that gained momentum after the Uri attacks in 2016.īut singer Jubin Nautiyal seems to be so taken with Nusrat Fateh’s music that it is hard to find originality in any of his recent releases. The most recent example is Coca Cola that was used to beef up jingoistic sentiments in an “anti-Pakistan” film, Bhuj: The Pride of India. There are many compositions by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and Malika-e-Tarannum Noor Jehan that have been cleverly reprised in Bollywood.

Bollywood filmmakers were known for notoriously ripping off posters and action sequences from Hollywood movies until they discovered that Pakistani songs and music videos are equally convenient to steal too.
