In today’s video treat, Wasim Akram remembers how the team won the World Cup & How much obsessed they were with “Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan” . It was 1992, and cricketers like Javed Miandad  were already die-hard NFAK fans. NFAK himself started taking interest in cricket those days as he was becoming a good friend of the Pakistani cricket team. Just before the team left home for World-Cup, NFAK personally recorded many songs specially for the team on request of Javed Miandad. Team played these songs pretty much every time (before match-after match, during practice sessions, during breaks and of course  to celebrate the victory)…

People in Pakistan discovered the true greatness of NFAK only after his huge success in West, a truth no one can deny. This creative short-movie revolves around a usual Pakistani NFAK fan, who departs from the filmy renditions and discovers the true traditional and ecstatic Nusrat. As this trend continued..

Nusrat was no more just a great Qawwal in Pakistan…. he was the countries greatest son ever.

“Ishq Di Galli Wich " was a uper-hit song from movie “Kachche Dhaage” , composed by NFAK. However he offered the song to Hanj Raj Hans (who did a good job) , wonder how it would have been if he wound have sang it himself
