Chahat Fateh Ali Khan, a social media sensation famous for his humorous sketches and viral content, stirs controversy with his recent response to veteran actress Bushra Ansari’s critique.
While Chahat enjoys a strong fanbase, his unconventional style has also drawn criticism. His popularity soared with the hit track “Bado Badi,” which gained international attention.
As a bold figure in the entertainment industry, he often finds himself at the center of public debates.
A few days ago, Bushra Ansari, a respected name in the industry, voiced her concerns about the current state of music in Pakistan, specifically calling out Chahat’s work.
In her candid remarks, she expressed worry about the direction of music, directly referencing his unconventional approach.
In a recent interview with a private TV channel, Chahat did not shy away from addressing Ansari’s comments. He pointed out that she began her journey as a comedic performer, often imitating others in her early work.
He questioned why someone with such a background would critique an artist who writes and performs his original songs.
“Bushra Ansari has been in the industry for years, and I respect that. But she too used to mimic people. So, it’s surprising she would criticize me for creating my work,” Chahat stated.
He further suggested that Ansari and other senior artists who have criticized him might feel threatened by his rising popularity. However, he reassured everyone that he had no intention of replacing anyone in the industry.
