Did Nimra Khan Steal Someone’s Voice

Actress Nimra Khan posted a video of herself reciting Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s ‘Wohi Khuda Hai‘ which is sung by popular singer Nimra Rafique. However, no one could recognize it because it was a TikTok video and the logo was missing too.

Many people failed to recognize who is the original singer. Nimra Khan’s video went viral and it was published by various publications but still, she didn’t clarify that she used someone else’s voice.

After the video went viral, some people called her out for using someone else’s voice without mentioning that person or asking for the permission.

I instantly messaged her on Friday night, telling her to give me credits but she didn’t respond. The video was up on her page and when I saw she hadn’t credited me the next day either, I uploaded the original version. But it was too late, people thought I had copied her voice!” Nimra Rafique said.

After this huge mess, Nimra Khan spoke to The Express Tribune and clarified, “I had no intentions of stealing her voice and making it my own. I make several TikToks and upload them without crediting whose voices I’m lip-syncing. I never thought this would be such a big issue. I honestly got busy because my father in law was unwell and credited her when I found out it had turned into an issue.”
