Legendary Pakistani singer Rahat Fateh Ali Khan recently opened up about being detained by Indian officials in 2011 at the airport in New Delhi.
The singer of Zaroori Tha made an appearance on a TV programme when he revealed the cause of his brief detention for the first time in 11 years.
When questioned about the incident, Khan said that he had been detained at the airport for having more foreign money than was allowed.
“I was unaware of the India laws regarding foreign currency limit at that time,” he said, adding that the Pakistani authorities reached out him instantly and helped him get clearance in the case.
“I got clearance by evening of the same day due to the steps taken by Pakistani officials,” he said.
Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, the nephew and successor of late legend Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, is equally popular in Pakistan and India and has worked on several projects in the neighbouring country.
