Shaking a leg – Rahat Fateh Ali Khan

Rahat Fateh Ali Khan

You have to feel sorry for with the guy. The exceedingly talented Rahat Fateh Ali Khan must be thinking ‘why the heck did I choose to be a judge on a music reality show’ for the sole reason that every time a film celebrity appears on Chhote Ustad, they’re asked (sometimes pushed) to get on to the stage and shake their booty (read: dance). Each time that happens, they implore RFK to join them and show his moves. He obliges willy-nilly and looks utterly spaced out.

Poor old Rahat is a singer par excellence and is someone who is accustomed to singing songs while comfortably perched on the stage. Last week when Ranbir Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra were plugging their film Anjaana Anjaani on Chhote Ustad, they were invariably asked to pirouette and twist. It was a scene to be seen when Ranbir, on one occasion, requested Rahat to join in on the act. RFK got up and the way he tried not to disappoint them only made you sympathise with the singer. He was out of sorts and did things that are quite uncharacteristic of him. No details.
