When Mohammed Rafi Met Muhammad Ali

Indian music legend Mohammed Rafi was touring America in 1979 when he sought out and met his great idol, the boxer Muhammad Ali. Ali sat down with Rafi, his wife, and son for a 45 minute chat and spoke about music and boxing. They then decided to take a picture, planned by Ali. Ali said, We will pose like this. You punch me on the face and I will punch you back”. And they laughed about it.
