Renowned Pakistani singer Rahat Fateh Ali Khan has shared an emotional account of his daughter Maheen Khan’s wedding, admitting that he became overwhelmed while singing during her rukhsati.
Speaking on the set of Pakistan Idol, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan said that although he has performed at countless concerts around the world and sung many rukhsati songs, his daughter’s wedding was a deeply personal and unforgettable moment.
He revealed that despite his busy schedule, including commitments to Pakistan Idol and other programs during the wedding days, he could not hold back his emotions at the time of Maheen’s farewell. He described the occasion as one filled with love, pride, and intense emotions, experienced from a father’s perspective.
The singer further shared that his wife supervised all the wedding arrangements, while memories of his father Farrukh Fateh Ali Khan and legendary maestro Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan repeatedly came to his mind. These moments, he said, revived family traditions, emotional bonds, and the deep connection of music with his life.
Rahat Fateh Ali Khan said Maheen’s rukhsati was not just a wedding ceremony, but one of the most beautiful and emotional moments of his life, leaving a lasting impact on his heart and musical journey.
It is worth mentioning that Maheen Khan’s mayun, mehndi, and baraat ceremonies have gained significant attention on social media, with photos and videos going viral. The baraat ceremony was held in Lahore, where Maheen and her husband Shayan began a new chapter of their lives.
