so how does he used be invited to india before.. 'disrespectfully', to ask for respect now?? why can't he be a musharraf & issue a statement saying he will never visit india anymore, if he cares that much about the respect? anyway he did agree to the fact that he did commit a mistake & indian authorities were right to apprehend him.. excuse he came out with.. let's take it with a pinch of salt. afterall he will be back in india soon & all will be well. Instead of carrying cash, it will be hawala next time. That's all!!

lol..this statement fromhis is nothing but just for the local Pakistani people. its the money and fame these people work for....he worked in india for money and thats why he broke the rules in India..for money....very soon he will be back in India for the same money and fame...indians should not pay heed to them. just cary on the business.

If Rahat Fateh Ali Khan has a an audience (which he has) and if the money on offer is good (which is likely to be) he will go again to India; its as simple as that. The rest is part of the hype that needs to be built up around performers. That is part of marketing.

Another thing is for certain his audience will increase. Enforcement, Revenue Intelligence and Income Tax officials will follow his performances and appearances very carefully. And at least some of them will attend his concerts to keep an eye on him and his income in India.

LAHORE: Singer Rahat Fateh Ali Khan after returning to Pakistan said that he will go to India if called respectfully, DawnNews reported.

Khan flew home from India after paying a fine of $33,216 for carrying large quantities of cash out of the country.

While talking to journalists, he said the Indian media created hype without delving into the facts.

The musician and his group were boarding a plane to Lahore via Dubai on February 13 when authorities found $124,000 in cash in their bags.

The singer said he was unaware of the Indian custom laws.

He was charged with carrying undeclared foreign currency in violation of India’s Foreign Exchange Management Act and customs rules.

Under Indian customs rules, visitors are allowed to carry only $5,000 in cash in and out of the country.

He said that his income was confiscated and was fined.

Common guys, he got pushed to wall and this statement not was made to disrespect anyone.

nvm.......

 

[jha]

This is a non-issue..The statement was for local consumption..

Ek toh banday tum logon ko izzat bakshi hai by not lampooning the entire nation for his one bad experience.

I mean what would you guys rather have him do? What Sohail Tanvir did, and go like "Hindu hotay hi aisay hain"?

He simply indicated he holds no ill-feeling towards Indians and remember one thing, an employee always earns more money for his employer, thats why the employer hires his talent and pays him a lesser amount than what he earned.

Don't pretend like he is the only one making money, if he would be called, it would be an Indian that will call him because he will earn even a bigger sum for the Indian. So who is the real Paise ka bhooka?

Mr.Rahat , I think is wiser than Tanveer to utter such a foolish statement and then rue over the lost money in IPL.

 

[Rafi]

more non issues - Rahat makes alot of money all around the world.

[PoKeMon]

If stopping somebody smuggling money comes in class of disrespect then Rahat should never come to India.
He will face this "disrespect" each and every time.

He just got an infraction from Indian MODS.

 

[Veeru]

You guys are acting like he goes to India to collect charity.

His songs are famous, he has a market over there, He is called by Indians and gets paid handsomely. Whats wrong with that?

Nothing till he gets involve in illegal money transferring foreign currency Hawala racket or break Indian laws well knowingly.
