Born in Gujrat in 1928, he relocated to Lahore to continue his education. He ended himself singing for Radio Pakistan as fate would have it, and then for the 1949 Punjabi hit song “Pheray.”
He was an accomplished multi-talented singer, actor, director, author, columnist, social leader, and religious scholar in addition to being a zakir.
Since he was a little child, he has been fascinated in Sufi poetry. Almost 500 films included Inayat’s singing..
Inayat Hussain Bhatti was born in Gujrat on January 12, 1928, and his incredible journey began when he traveled to Lahore to pursue higher education, according to a private news program.
His remarkable career began when he started singing for Radio Pakistan, which marked the beginning of his musical adventure.
He was blessed with good fortune in 1949 when composer Ghulam Ahmed Chishti saw his potential and offered him the opportunity to record songs for producer-director Nazir Ahmed Khan’s movie, “Pheray.”
Following the success of this movie, Bhatti rose to fame practically immediately. He was then chosen for the main part in Nazir’s 1955 Punjabi film “Heer.”
