Pakistan is blessed with incredible singers, but what has recently sparked much controversy is a poor soul revealing her connection to Sajjad Ali.
Sajjad is adored by both Pakistani and international audiences.
Talking to the host of RP Productions, the lady said, “My name is Bushra Akhtar and I belong to the classical music family, Baray Ghulam Ali is one of my grandfathers, he was the real brother of my real grandfather.”
“I’m the daughter of Akhtar Hussain. Sajjad Ali is my brother, if he’s listening, I would say that may Allah give him health and happiness, I would pray for him even if he’s not concerned about me, we are from the same family. In our family of Mian Qadir Bakhsh, we didn’t venture into singing because of restrictions, but, on the other hand, Baray Ghulam Ali’s (Sajjad Ali’s grandfather) family is actively doing music.”
She further said that she wanted to sing and she’s trying to get a chance so that she can earn money and name.
The lady also mentioned a few popular names like Tafu who were students of her grandfather.
“Maybe Sajjad Ali wants to meet us but he doesn’t know about our address, I know he’s a very kind person’. She said that she begged and did household work to earn money. She said that she sings at Darbars for earnings and her husband is sick. She’s living with two children and a husband. Bushra also sang songs. She says she wants to sing and wants to make her name.”
However, the singer hasn’t responded to the claim so it’s not yet confirmed whether she is his sister or not.
