Pakistani singer Rahat Fateh Ali Khan gave fans a glimpse into a recent meeting with Bollywood star Sanjay Dutt, sharing a video on Instagram that quickly captured widespread attention.

 

Rahat posted the clip with a caption celebrating what he called "a memorable meeting between two legends." He described the encounter as featuring "meaningful discussion, shared experiences, and mutual respect," adding that witnessing such positive energy in one frame truly delighted him.

Social media users responded enthusiastically. One user commented "Sanju Baba" with a fire emoji, using Dutt's popular nickname. 

 

Another wrote "Mashallah Khan Sab g" with a heart-eyes emoji, while a third posted "Legends meeting" with a heart emoji. Interestingly, one user simply commented "Chaudhry Aslam" with a fire emoji, referencing Dutt's new controversial film role.

 

The two entertainer's met just after Dutt starred in the recently released Bollywood film Dhurandhar, where he portrays a character based on assassinated Pakistani police officer Chaudhry Aslam Khan. 

 

The film has sparked significant controversy on both sides of the border, with Gulf countries including Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE banning the movie over its perceived anti-Pakistan messaging.

 

Director Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar follows an Indian spy who operates in Karachi's Lyari neighborhood. The trailer positions Lyari as "the very core of terrorism in Pakistan" and shows the character arriving to "wipe out terrorism" from the area.

 

Filmmakers marketed Dhurandhar as "inspired by incredible true events." However, the connections the film draws between these Karachi figures and cross-border terror lack any documented basis.

 

Earlier this month, Rahat also shared footage from a live performance with his son Shahzaman Ali Khan, describing it as "a night of soulful music and timeless vibes." Shahzaman, a rising Pakistani singer, recently made his television debut performing the original soundtrack for ARY Digital's drama series Bismil.
