Whether it is his chartbusters or his recent stint as a mentor for aspiring singers on TV, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan — nephew of the legendary singer Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan — seems to have a knack of mesmerising his audience.

This evening, Rahat will be performing in Gurgaon, part of the Hindustan Times Gurgaon First festival. His concerts are usually a blend of traditional qawwalis, Bollywood hits, as well as light classical/ghazal pieces.

Born in Faisalabad, Pakistan, Rahat was trained by his uncle Nusrat and began singing professionally long before he was a teenager.
