An auto-rikshaw driver from Karachi had staked a similar claim to fame a few years ago, when he sang a thumri by the renowned Bade Ghulam Ali Khan (below).
The singer managed to capture the attention of Indian musician Daler Mehndi, who offered him a flat in a city of his choice, Lahore or Karachi, as a token of appreciation.
