One would believe it's fortunate to have a legend for an uncle, however for artistes like Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, it can be truly an overwhelming knowledge.
He as of late identifies with Hindustan Times about his nerves amid his practice sessions with Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan once upon a time:
"Bahut khaufnaaq mahaul banta tha (It used to be unnerving). After he would sing a line, he would request that I rehash, and I used to get petrified. Be that as it may, he generally welcomed my work. He was extremely strict when it came to music. At whatever point he was furious with somebody, he would not converse with the individual for quite a long time and months," he reviews.
Rahat likewise said that his uncle's fame made his ascent as an artist "much more troublesome [for him]."
"Agar fankar saccha ho (if an artiste speaks the truth)," he said, alluding to his uncle, "tou uske fans bhi sacche hote hain; aur...woh kisi aur fankar ko acknowledge nahi karte (he or she will have steadfast supporters, who don't acknowledge any other person effectively.)"
The seeds of "genuine" music, which were sown amid his time with Khan sahab, still prove to be fruitful. Discussing the distinction in the middle of Pakistani and Indian music today, Rahat said that "I think crude material is more in Pakistan. Because of absence of present day innovation, the music is still established in the area, which is a gift."
He included that forming for Bollywood is troublesome in light of the fact that "demonstrating your music in today's times is harder. In any case, I am certain that things will change, and workmanship will again be the most vital thing to be connected with an artiste. "
Be that as it may, one thing's without a doubt - he won't be singing a thing tune.
"I don't think my voice will suit a thing number," he said with a chuckle, "I may very well begin applying traditional classifications to it."
