Nazia Hassan’s songs are v personal to me esp. aap jaisa koi – y’all need to stop digging your claws into every iconic song & ruin it for the public! the newer version does not even have the charm or the vibe! they have completely ruined the song! t-series needs to be held back,” wrote an extremely disappointed fan.
