Chahat Fateh Ali Khan, a prominent singer and social media star, has unexpectedly entered the political arena.
According to a video that has become popular on social media, the star musician has allegedly submitted his candidacy papers for the forthcoming National Assembly elections from NA-128, Lahore.
In the video, the singer, dressed in a green shalwar kameez, greets the audience in his trademark humorous manner. He then declares in the video that he has filed his nomination papers for the NA-128 constituency in Lahore. So in NA-128 it is Chahat Fateh Ali Khan versus Bilawal.

Kashif Rana, Chahat’s true name, has filed his nomination paperwork through his lawyer.
Many people may be surprised by this move, since Chahat Fateh Ali Khan has built his career on catchy melodies and viral videos, having over 1.9 million YouTube subscribers. However, it appears that the charismatic singer now has political aspirations, hoping to exchange microphones for legislative seats.
The nomination papers were presented by a lawyer rather than Chahat himself, therefore details on his campaign are scant. This adds to the mystery around his political ambitions, leaving fans and voters alike wondering what motivates this surprise plunge into politics.
The NA-128 is a frequently fought district recognized for its varied voter base and tense election contests. Chahat Fateh Ali Khan will encounter stiff opposition from established political players and seasoned veterans. Only time will tell if his musical attractiveness can transfer into political success, or if this is just a passing fling with public service.
Whether Chahat Fateh Ali Khan’s choice was deliberate or impulsive, one thing is certain: his foray into politics adds a distinct spice to the impending elections. Will he emerge as a new political voice, or will his song be drowned out by the clamor of existing parties?
