Legendary Sufi singer Rahat Fateh Ali Khan is being heavily criticized after a video surfaced on the internet where the singer could be seen drunk with his managers.
Pakistani singer Rahat Fateh Ali Khan is well revered around the world for a soulful singing style that churns out the real essence of Sufi and Qawwali. Many iconic singles and albums belong to his musical arsenal and each of his musical creations never failed to win the hearts of the listeners.
However, a video on the internet has recently surfaced where the singer could be seen in a drunken state which made the netizens troll him badly. The video is widely shared over social media considering the occasion of the 24th death anniversary of Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.
Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan is the uncle of Rahat Fateh Ali Khan who was a legendary classical and traditional singer. He passed away on August 16, 1997, due to cardiac arrest.
Rahat Fateh Ali Khan has written down his emotions through a heartfelt note about his uncle on the occasion of the 25th death anniversary of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, the kind of Qawwali who will live eternally through his timeless creations.

However, netizens didn’t stop trolling him just because the singer could be apparently seen being drunk with his managers Haji and Iqbal Naqeeb. In the recent video that surfaced, Rahat could be seen hugging Iqbal and appreciating his presence. The singer also said, “We are one and we will always be one,” perhaps one of the most wholesome declarations.
But soon after the video appeared, it garnered much criticism and negative comments from online users, even from his fans. They claimed that the singer is consuming a high amount of alcohol and the video was shared only to tarnish the respectful image of Late Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.
However, it is still unclear whether he was being an alcoholic or just chilling with his close people in the video. Whatever the reason was, the reactions of the netizens were diverse and hard-hitting.
Some said, “He is high on alcohol as usual” while one commented “Rahat Fateh Ali Khan’s viral video is a perfect example of why you should avoid overdosing on “Toot Siah“. Some of them also asked, “What is wrong with Rahat Fateh Ali Khan in this clip?”
The mixed reaction from the listeners and the fans of the singer seems like pointing out his musical career as well. However, his timeless musical creations will remain evergreen only.
