MUMBAI, Feb 20 (TNS): Bollywood singer-turned-union minister Babul Supriyo has demanded to impose ban on Pakistani singers’ in India. Supriyo said that Rahat Fateh Ali Khan’s voice in a song that features in Welcome To New York should be immediately replaced by any other singer.
If that’s true, I would request the makers of the film to remove Rahat’s voice and get someone else to dub it! I am also not sure why Atif Aslam got to sing “Dil diya gallan” when for sure our very own Arijit could have done a much better job, he said.
Atif as an artist sounds great in ‘Dil diya gallan” and Rahat is a great singer too. But it’s important to clarify that our problem is not with the artists Atif or Rahat, but with their Pakistani nationality. It’s not a political stand but probably the families who have lost their sons, brothers, fathers would feel a lot better should the entire country show solidarity in any manner possible.
