    Digital Desk: Following initial reports of Rahat Fateh Ali Khan's purported arrest at Dubai airport, the Pakistani singer has refuted these claims, denouncing them as unfounded and false. Taking to his social media platforms, including X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram, he posted a video against the backdrop of Dubai's skyscrapers, stating firmly, "News circulating regarding the arrest of Rahat Fateh Ali Khan is fake and baseless. Regards Team RFAK."

    In the shared video, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan clarified, "I am currently in Dubai to record my songs and everything is proceeding smoothly. I urge you not to pay heed to these baseless rumors. There's no truth to what the adversaries are saying. I will soon return to my homeland and continue entertaining you all with my superhit songs."

    Directing his message to his global fanbase, he reiterated, "I appeal to all my fans worldwide to disregard such fabricated news and rumors. Please do not waste your time on them and continue to respect your favorite artists. When you do that, your artists will always stand by you. You are my strength. My audience and fans are my strength. Thank you very much."

    Earlier reports had suggested that Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, nephew of Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, was detained following complaints filed by his former manager Salman Ahmed, whom he had parted ways with a few months ago due to irreconcilable differences. Rahat Fateh Ali Khan did not mention anyone by name in his rebuttal.

    The acclaimed Pakistani singer has contributed to numerous popular songs in Indian cinema, including "Ajj Din Chadheya" in Love Aaj Kal, "O Re Piya" in Aaja Nachle, "Main Jahaan Rahoon" in Namastey London, "Teri Ore" in Singh Is Kinng, "Jag Soona Soona Lage" in Om Shanti Om, and "Jag Ghoomeya" in Sultan, among others.
