Late Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s daughter warns people misusing her father’s intellectual property music rights

Daughter of legendary singer Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Nida Nusrat, held a press conference at Lahore making her debut in front of media as an adult. She addressed many issues being faced by her. She had been living in Canada along her mother since they were unable to bear the shocking death of the music maestro.

She announced to sue Wikipedia and other such sites for spreading fake news and information regarding her marriage with cousin Rahat Fateh Ali Khan. Clarifying it she said, “Rahat’s wife is my namesake but she is another woman. I am still unmarried,” she added while also denying any differences with Rahat Fateh Ali Khan.

Also warning all those misusing her father’s name by using her music rights Nusrat added, ” I am the only daughter and sole heiress of qawaal legend Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. I have no siblings.”

“I have sent legal notices to them that music rights of my father should not be used. I have further decided that people who are using my father’s music rights in India and other countries will be sued and legal action would be taken against them. I have sent notices to Khokhar Productions for using my father music rights”, said Nadia talking at the presser.

Nida also revealed her plans to join the music industry in near future, “I will join the music industry very soon since music is in my blood.” She also announced that she would officially launch never heard before songs, ghazals and qawwalis of her late father in the near future.

This was Nida Nusrat’s first appearance after the demise of her father, music legend Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, who died in London in 1997 at the age of 48. Rahat Fateh Ali Khan has been carrying forward his uncle’s music legacy after his death.
