Early life
Rahim Shah was born on 3 April 1975 in Karachi, Sindh to a Yusufzai Pashtun family, with his paternal roots in Swat, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. [1]
In an interview he revealed that Rahim Shah is not his real name and, in fact, it is his elder brother's name. He recently disclosed his original name, which is Muhammad Rahim, on ARY Qtv.[1][4]
Career
Rahim Shah's solo career began in the late 1990s with successful singles. Ghum album containing the single Pehle Toh Kabhi Kabhi Ghum Tha was particularly successful.[1][5]
Audience in India
Shah attracted the attention of Indian audience with his 1999 song Pehle Toh Kabhi Kabhi Ghum Tha.
According to a major English-language newspaper in Pakistan, "Ghum is not Rahim Shah's personal composition. It is a Pashtun folk song or tappa, sung by famous Pashtun singer, Haroon Bacha. Rahim Shah translated the "tappa" into Urdu and changed the arrangement."[1] This was later completely copied by Indian singer Altaf Raja.[1]
