    The late great Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan is missed not just by his Pakistani fans but Indian fans too. The maestro was known for belting out hit upon hit, and for being one of the most humble men in the industry.

    The heartwarming tale of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and Indian lyricist Anand Bakhshi’s first meeting reminds us that even the most unlikely of friendships is destined for something special.


    During an interview with The Lallantop, Bollywood star Ajay Devgn disclosed an interesting details of that first meeting. “Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan had arrived in India for an album recording with Bakhshi. Though we’d scheduled a number of meetings, we couldn’t connect. Nusrat Sahab was so obese he couldn’t walk around, so he wanted me to come over to him, yet he chose not to take all the calls. Taking matters into his own hands, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan decided to visit Mr. Bakhshi’s apartment in Bandera, which didn’t have an elevator.”


    “After Nusrat Sahab went to his apartment by himself, Bakhshi became embarrassed and started crying when he saw Nusrat entering the apartment while four people were holding him. Later, Bakhshi Saab would come visit him, and both of them produced music together.”
    Anand Bakshi was an award-winning Indian poet and lyricist.

    Anand Bakshi and Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan made superhit songs like Kinna Sohna Tenu from Sanu Ek Pal Chain Na Aave. But their biggest hit was Afreen Afreen.

    Here’s the reason we have not seen Tabu and Shah Rukh Khan together on screen

    Bollywood fans have long wondered why they haven’t seen the duo of superstar Shah Rukh Khan and powerhouse Tabu in a film together. Despite their memorable cameo as a couple in ‘Saathiya’ and special appearances in ‘Main Hoon Na’ and ‘Om Shanti Om,’ a full-fledged collaboration has remained elusive.


    In an interview with Galatta India, Tabu said, “I am neither a director, producer, or screenwriter, and I really don’t control who Shah Rukh Khan collaborates with. Alright? And which films will be produced as well as which films will be recommended to me next. I can only say yes or no from what is offered to me.”
    The Crew actor revealed, “I know what I have refused, and I am sure he has also refused a few.”

    Among the notable films that could have featured this iconic pair were the blockbuster hits Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna.

    Despite these lost chances, Tabu’s clarity about what happened emphasises how unpredictable movie casting is and how many different things might affect an actor’s choice.
