The former Pakistani singer wore a black sherwani with gold embroidery and beamed with pride after receiving the National Award.

Furthermore, when the Padma Shri recipient list was revealed in January, he was heavily chastised, with the Nationalist Congress Party calling it an “insult to 130 crore Indians.”

In the response, the singer had said, “The people who are criticizing are some minor politicians. They are doing it because of some political agenda that they have and it has nothing to do with me. I am not a politician, I am a musician.”
