[Watch] Video Of Rahat Fateh Ali Khan Hitting Student With Shoe Goes Viral; Singer Issues Clarification

New Delhi: Renowned Pakistani singer Ustad Rahat Fateh Ali Khan on Sunday issued a clarification on a viral video, in which he was seen hitting a student with a shoe at his home while questioning him about a “bottle”.

Khan, nephew of legendary Qawwali singer Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, also slapped the individual as he walked out of the room to look for the bottle. In another scene, some people were seen attempting to intervene and trying to pull the singer away to save the student.

As this video went viral, the internet started criticising the singer.

Later he posted a video, featuring his student as well as his father, and it described the incident as a personal matter between a teacher (ustad) and his disciple (shagird). “He is like my son. This is how the relation is between a teacher and his disciple. If a disciple does something good, I shower my love on him. If he does something wrong, he is punished,” he said.

Khan further said that he had apologised to him after the incident.

The individual also admitted to misplacing a bottle containing holy water, leading to the incident, but clarified that there was no ill-intention behind his actions.  “He’s like my father. He loves us a lot. Whoever spread this video is trying to defame my ustad,” he added.

Khan’s father also supported him, highlighting the relation between the ‘ustad and shagird‘ in the field of Qawwali.
