On Connect Cine this time, we sat down to for a tete-a-tete with Punjabi singer Khaan Saab who spoke candidly about his spirituality, religion, his undying love for Late Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and his unhinged fun time with Punjabi singer Garry Sandhu.

Khaan Saab has garnered fans across the globe because of his mellifluous voice, “People of Pakistan have shown me considerable acceptance," shares the singer who is deeply influenced by the legendary Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, always affectionally referring him as his guru.

“I sense a profound connection with existence as if i become one with very fabric of being,” adds Khaan Saab who has no qualms in showing his fun side too.

"I am an artist with many faces, and I don't make any effort to hide it." The singer talks about his Instagram reels where he highlights a diverse range of content altering between humour and spiritual offerings.

I want them to see me as a normal person who can be serious and funny at the same time.” And he talks about his fun moments with Punjabi singer Garry Sandhu who is credited with giving him the moniker Khaan Saab.
