In a career spanning some 50 years, he acted in more than 300 movies, produced 30 as well and also directed some, while as a musician he provided approximately 350 songs for some 200 movies.[5]
Early and personal life
Bhatti was born in Gujrat, Punjab, on 12 January 1928 in a Punjabi Muslim family.[1][3][6]
His father Fazal Ellahi Bhatti, a Muslim Rajput of the Bhatti clan, was a well-known social worker in the locality, while Inayat's early interest in the arts was due to Syed Ijaz Hussain Gilani, a lawyer who showed him the world of music and drama, and also Asghar Hayat Jaura, a local Kabbadi player, with whom he took an interest in Sufi poetry.[5]
In 1953, Inayat married Mohtarma Shahida Bano, the daughter of Ahmed Din Butt, a retired superintendent of the Indian Railways. Mohtarma Shahida Banoo died on 12 March 1997.
Bhatti's children include two sons, three daughters, eleven grandsons and five grand daughters. His youngest son Waseem Abbas is a film, TV and stage artist. The actors Agha Ali and Ali Abbas are his grandsons.[1]
Bhatti's younger brother, known by the stage name Kaifee, was a well-known actor and director from the mid-1960s until the late 1990s.
Death
In 1997, he suffered an attack of paralysis, which impaired his speech and kept him bed-ridden for most of the time thereafter. A few days before his death, the 71-year-old artiste was taken to his native home Gujrat, where on 31 May 1999, he died and was buried next to his parents.[6][9][3]
