Pakistani singer Rahat Fateh Ali Khan recently found himself at the center of controversy after a video of him beating a student went viral on the internet. The video showed the singer using a footwear to discipline the student while inquiring about the whereabouts of a bottle. As the incident sparked outrage among netizens, Rahat has now defended his actions by calling it a personal matter.
In response to the backlash, Rahat took to his social media to release a clarification video alongside the student involved and the student’s father. He justified his actions as the unique relationship between a teacher and his student.
“The videos you are seeing are a personal issue between an ustad and shagird (teacher and his disciple). He is like my son. This is how the relationship is between a teacher and his disciple. If a disciple does something good, I shower my love on him. If he does something wrong, he is punished,” Rahat explained in the video.
