Email from Raashid Rafi.
Mr. Raashid Rafi happens to be Rafi Sahab’s grand son. We received an email from him, which has been posted for all fans to read.
Dear Sir/Madam,
My name is Raashid Rafi and I live in London. I am the grandson of Mohammad Rafi. My father, Khalid, is his son. I was informed of your web-site by a friend in the US. Yesterday I browsed through your site and was very impressed.
If you ever need any more information on my grandfather I will be more than happy to provide you with it, within reason ofcourse.
Take Care
Raashid Rafi

Mujtaba Sahab, thanks for your offer to send the video recordings. I shall separately mail to you my address. It will be treasure for all of us here in India, particularly to our members in “abadrafi”, the hyderabad chapter of the rafi foundation. We have our regular meetings and singing sessions and i shall mail to you the photographs and other details by email. thanks once again and keep up the ‘rafi-flag’ flying high always.
ref post by shri pvks raju ji addressed to mr rashidh rafi sahab. i could not have agreed more with the views expressed by shri raju. i am amazed to read the depth of devotion that so many have towards rafi sahab. “national treasure” wow, what a tribute raju sahab. simply fantastic and i have to endorse each and every word written by you to rashid rafi sahab.

Dear Mr Rashid Rafi,
At the outset, being the grandson of such a great soul is special(it is purv punya). Great people like your grandfather are born rarely. U are second generation from your grand father. When all of us feel proud to own such a noble and precious soul, u should all the more be rejoicing, as you belong to his genes.(lineage). To be frank enough we grew up listening to his melodies. Even to this day, if an old song is played either on FM channel or on any television channel, I love to watch or listen for a second time. Such was your grandfather’s aura. Still intact and without replacement. By the way, were u born when your grandfather was still alive or after. I have heard he was very soft spoken and shy person. If you can provide live videos recorded in those times (including that of musical concerts) and any interesting articles which we have missed out on the great soul till now, his likes/dislikes, his little hobbies, personal favourites, just about any thing…. do send to me…. Your grandfather is national treasure… I wish the Govt of India bestows Bharat Ratna to him at the earliest and I congratulate U for it in advance…
With blessings… My email id.. paranandivksraju@yahoo.com.

Dear Morthy ji and Binu Nair ji,
Thanks a lot for my couragement; Respected Sohail Butt Sahib (came in Lahore from Kuwait) writing an article on Rafiji’s Old Hom Town from Lahore Chapter I think 90% have completed. During his meeting / interwie in his residence they have made all recordings in his movie camera and also closed all songs sung by Mohammade Siddique Sahib. This CD Inshallah will reach in my hand within next few weeks and the same shall be mailed at your address to enjoy with All Lovers. So please send me your mailing address.
Regards. Ghulam Mujtaba / Lahore / Pakistan.
