Chinmayi Sripaada condemns Rahat Fateh Ali Khan's assault incident, urging accountability and an end to artist impunity.
Pakistani singer Rahat Fateh Ali Khan has sung a new song titled Ishtehar — a soulful rendition — for Indian film production Welcome To New York.
Ishtehar, composed by Shamir Tandon with lyrics penned by Charanjeet Charan, is Khan’s duet with Dhvani Bhanushali.
Ishtehar is a beautiful soulful rendition and it was a pleasure to sing to the music of Shamirji and collaborate with Puja Music for this song. It’s great to witness a young girl like Dhvani who has a lovely voice making her debut and sing beside me,” Khan said in a statement.
