How Rahat Fateh Ali Khan’s Praise Changed Everything

It even led to an opportunity for the singer to open for the legend at one of his concerts.
“It was a concert in Gurugram in around 2014 where I got to open for Rahat sahab. I finished my set with ‘Main Tenu Samjhawan Ki,’ which was actually the first song I ever recorded professionally. Rahat sahab was backstage then and he heard it. As soon as he came on stage, he took a moment to praise my singing and even said that I sang the song more beautifully than him. To hear those words coming from his mouth felt divine and a huge blessing. Singing his song was one thing, but to get his appreciation for the same just felt like an achievement,” Akhil recalled.
