Even the lead singers, that being Aima and myself, are grooving in a way that’s very much authentic to our culture. It’s truly amazing what we have created, and I hope our fans will enjoy it.”The video of the song is directed by Adnan Qazi while Baig and Bagga’s styling has been done by Ali Xeeshan.
