A video of Pakistani singer Rahat Fateh Ali Khan's son Shahzaman Fateh Ali Khan's recent performance in the United States has gone viral. Netizens were taken aback when they realised how much Shahzaman sounds like his grand uncle, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. Shahzaman is seen performing and mesmerising the audience as he sings Nusrat's iconic song "Kinna Sohna Tenu Rab Ne Banaya" in the video that has gone viral on Twitter.

Music fans took to Twitter to express their appreciation for Shahzaman's performance. "Rahat Fateh Ali Khan's son. OMG, does he not sound like Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan?," one person wrote, while another said, "He has a similar voice as Nusrat, but both Nusrat and Rahat were much more polished qawwals by this age. Nusrat was without a doubt the best!" the user said. 

Shahzaman is also well-liked among Indians. According to media reports, the young qawwal performed at Anant Ambani's 28th birthday bash in Dubai in April.

Shahzaman and his father Rahat frequently jam and perform on stage together. He had previously spoken openly about his father's role in his musical journey. "What a great dad he is!" he wrote on Instagram. "Allows me to take his seat while he takes mine. Knowing that I still have to earn this seat, but how eagerly he wants to see me on it. How fortunate I am to have a father and an Ustad like my father," he added.
