The 20th death anniversary of singer and actor Inayat Hussain Bhatti was observed on Friday. Inayat Hussain Bhatti was born in 1928 in Gujrat and moved to Lahore to pursue further studies. As fate would have it, he ended up singing for Radio Pakistan and subsequently, for the 1949 Punjabi hit ‘Pheray’. And the rest, as they say, is history. He was a multi-talented distinguished singer, actor, director author, social leader, columnists, religious scholar and zakir. He was interested in Sufi poetry since he was a child. Inayat sang for nearly 500 films, in both Urdu and Punjabi. His impressive discography includes 2,500 songs. In 1960, the singer also set up a theatre which later became known for renditions of Sufi poetry such as that of Waris Shah, Bulleh Shah and Mian Muhammad Baksh.
