Life
Ali Khan, who came from a family of musicians, grew up in the still undivided Punjab . He was tutored by his uncle Kale Khan and his father Ali Baksh Khan and, like his brothers Mubarak Ali Khan , Bharat Ali Khan and Amanat Ali Khan, pursued a career as a musician of the Patiala Gharana . He became an extremely successful singer and has been compared to the legendary Tansen .
After the partition of the Punjab in 1947, he first returned to his hometown Kasur, but then decided to live in India and received Indian citizenship in 1958. In 1960 he sang two songs ( Shubh Din Aayo and Prem Jogan ke Sundari Pio Chali ) in Karimuddin Asif's film Mughal-e-Azam for the exorbitant fee of 25,000 rupees each . In the following years numerous recordings were made under his own name.
Ali Khan was awarded the Padma Bhushan in 1962 and the Sangeet Natak Akademi Ratna in 1963 . His tradition was continued by his son Munawar Ali Khan , who accompanied him to his concerts until his death, and his student Ajoy Chakrabarty .
