As Rahat kept his silence and has not responded to music director, Sahir himself provides clarity and context to his controversial remarks.
In an emotional post, Sahir mentioned pride for being a composer and emphasized his passion for promoting Pakistani talent around the world. He also commended Rahat’s impeccable skills and talent.
He said Rahat had not gave due credit he deserves for song ‘Zaroori Tha’. The singer also mentioned that his intention is not to defame anyone but to ensure that his rightful credit is given.
Sahir’s request for recognition stems from his desire to safeguard the rights of other artists who see him as a role model. Earlier, he removed his post about Rahat but later reposted them without apology, influenced by Ali Zafar’s advice to maintain Ramadan’s spirit.
