    ‘Rock bands can’t measure up to her 1 song’: Ahmad Butt slams Ali Azmat for comments on grandmother Noor Jehan

    Pakistan’s pop singer Ali Azmat recently appeared on Ahmad Pansota’s show and talked about Pakistani Music and Arts. He also talked about the veteran singer Noor Jehan, a musical legend who is celebrated transnationally.

    While Talking about the music industry of Pakistan’s transition over the years, the Jazba Junoon singer mentioned: “In my childhood, Noor Jehan used to sing on a show draped in Saari with big earrings and extra makeup on. We used to hate that woman.”

    Passing ageist comments, he said: “Looked like a meatball, she was an old age woman at that time and we used to think that it’s not necessary for us to watch it.”

    Noor Jehan’s grandson Ahmed Ali Butt also reacted to singer’s remarks about his grandmother.

    Taking to Instagram, the Parey Hut Love actor shared a lovely throwback photo of Noor Jehan and responded to Ali Azmat’s comments, saying his recent remarks were just in ‘bad taste’ especially when that person is no longer alive.

    He wrote “My Late Grandmother Madam Noor Jehan ‘Is’ the greatest artist of the subcontinent and that’s a fact.

    “I have always respected Ali Azmat as an artist and as a friend. He is one of Pakistan’s biggest rock star, his outspoken attitude has always been his trademark but his recent remarks over Noor Jehan, were just in bad taste especially when that person is no longer alive.”

    Meanwhile, Azmat took to Instagram and shared a video in which he said, “My respect, admiration and love for Madam and her family does not need any validation from people who edit old videos to create controversies.”

    ‘Cheap theatrics to grapple with lost fame, insecurities’: Noor Jehan’s daughter Mina Hasan hits out at Ali Azmat

    Pakistan’s pop singer Ali Azmat recently appeared on Ahmad Pansota’s show and talked about Pakistani Music and Arts. He also talked about the veteran singer Noor Jehan, a musical legend who is celebrated transnationally.

    While Talking about the music industry of Pakistan’s transition over the years, the Jazba Junoon singer mentioned: “In my childhood, Noor Jehan used to sing on a show draped in Saari with big earrings and extra makeup on. We used to hate that woman.”

    Passing ageist comments, he said: “Looked like a meatball, she was an old age woman at that time and we used to think that it’s not necessary for us to watch it.”

    After Ali’s derogatory comments on Noor Jehan, the late legend’s daughter and designer Mina Hasan has penned an elaborate note for his insensitive remarks.

    Mina started off by reiterating the reasons behind Malika-e-Tarannum’s excessive fame and Azmat’s ‘fame lost’. “Madam Noor Jehan is a name synonymous with greatness,” she assured. “A woman that did more for her country and her art than most can dream of doing in a lifetime. She received every accolade known to mankind and while leaving us, she was also rewarded in death to depart for her Heavenly abode on the most blessed of days.”

    She shared that while explaining popular culture relevant to his generation, Azmat had effortlessly stooped to an abhorrent low.

    Taking a giant dig at the Sayonee singer, Hasan concluded, “Not all primates evolved to become better creatures. Some regressed to lower life forms, faded into irrelevance; invoked cheap theatrics to grapple with the fame lost and lived out their remaning days consumed by their insecurities.”

    While the Anaa actor killed it with dapper dance moves as well.
