    Arieb Azhar shares memories of instrument maker Muhammad Ziauddin

    Muhammad Ziauddin, Lahore’s master musical instrument manufacturer, has passed away. He was known for his skill in making instruments and for preserving culture. The news of his death was shared by famous musician Arieb Azhar on Facebook. Azhar praised Ziauddin’s special personality, wisdom, and his role in keeping Pakistan’s musical traditions alive.

    Azhar wrote on Facebook, “I just found out that the great instrument maker from Lahore, Muhammad Ziauddin, passed away four days ago. He was a unique personality, full of wisdom and humor.”

    Azhar continued to pay tribute, saying, “On many occasions, I spent hours at his shop listening to his stories and jokes, and learning from his deep knowledge about Pakistan’s musical traditions. He was a master at making Sitar, Sarod, Sarangi, and Surmandal, along with other stringed instruments. His family has been crafting instruments for 300 years.”

    Many people, like Azhar, were lucky enough to spend hours at Ziauddin’s shop. There, they didn’t just admire his instruments but also enjoyed his stories, jokes, and wide knowledge of Pakistan’s music. Ziauddin put his all into his craft, showing his dedication by pouring his heart and soul into every instrument he made.

    Azhar also said, “He was a key figure in our film ‘Indus Blues,’ which is about the endangered musical instruments of Pakistan. Despite receiving a Presidential award, he couldn’t even own the shop he worked in. These are the people our country should invest in and support to bring back a culture of decency and beauty in the world.”

    In his tribute, Azhar expressed sadness over the lack of support for artisans like Ziauddin. He stressed the importance of the government investing in and supporting people like him to revive and keep Pakistan’s cultural heritage alive. Ziauddin’s death isn’t just a loss for his family and the music world, but also a reminder of how crucial it is to acknowledge and preserve the contributions of such individuals. Azhar said, “Our country has lost a precious person, and many don’t even realize it.” He ended by saying, “His son Kashan continues his father’s legacy. May Ziauddin Sahab’s journey be blessed forever!”

  • Sahir Ali Bagga demands credit from Rahat Fateh Ali Khan for ‘Zaroori Tha’

    Sahir Ali Bagga demands credit from Rahat Fateh Ali Khan for ‘Zaroori Tha’

    The ongoing dispute between Sahir Ali Bagga and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan has escalated to new heights. Bagga has now taken to Facebook to express his grievances, asking for proper credit as the composer of the popular song ‘Zaruri Tha’.

    Despite his apology in the end, Bagga remains firm in his stance, urging Khan to acknowledge his contribution to the project. As tensions continue, the ongoing conflict between these two musical giants keeps grabbing attention in the headlines.
    A few days ago, Bagga made headlines after calling out Rahat Fateh Ali Khan blatantly.

    The singer recently explained why he wrote against Rahat Fateh Ali Khan. He stated that as a committed composer, he seeks proper credit for the composition of the hit song ‘Zaruri Tha’, which has achieved significant success on YouTube.

    “The desire of a star maker is not just money. I am also a composer whom I am very proud of that my ALLAH has given me the ability to work hard for the talent of my country, and there is no doubt that Rahat Fateh Ali Khan is the best talent of Pakistan. I have always tried to make the talent of our Pakistan recognized all over the world, and in helping this initiative, Yousaf Salahudin Sahab helped me in the form of Virsa Heritage, and many stars were also made. I created a song, titled (ZAROORI THAA), this is the song that I myself did not know that I would create this song and it would become a historical song of the Pakistan music industry, today, this song is at the top in terms of Pakistani music industry, and content, it’s very close to 2 billion views on YouTube in one play, and if my right is only to be given as a creator, which only the hero of this project Rahat Fateh Ali Khan can give; and for some reason he is not giving it, he should explain why he is not giving me the credit for this achievement. And if I have called someone a hypocrite, then I have called every person a hypocrite who wants to hide the truth and is trying to kill someone’s right, ALLAH has blessed Rahat Fateh Ali Khan with good abilities, he should give me my right as a humanity. I have many other pieces of evidence with me and on YouTube where Rahat Fateh Ali Khan did not give me credit, I still request that I be given credit because I do not want the juniors who idealize me to face problems in their struggle, and I should be given my right. Apart from this, I have no intention of saying anything bad about anyone. Thank you”

  • Jennifer Lopez, Ben Affleck buy mansion worth huge amount from Indian billionaire

    Jennifer Lopez, Ben Affleck buy mansion worth huge amount from Indian billionaire

    Hollywood couple Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are in the news again, this time for buying fancy houses. The power couple are looking for a house in New York city.

    Indian media reports the pair own a huge mansion is Los Angeles’ Beverly Hills, which used to belong to Indian business leaders Isha Ambani and Anand Piramal. The mansion is massive, covering 38,000 square feet. It has 12 bedrooms, 24 bathrooms, and lots of fancy things like an indoor pickleball court, gym, salon, spas, and a 155-foot-long infinity pool. Outside, there’s a kitchen and big lawns, great for throwing fancy parties.

    Jennifer and Ben supposedly bought the Los Angeles mansion last June for a whopping $61 million (about INR5 billion). Before this, Ben had a house in Pacific Palisades that he sold for $28.5 million in 2022. Jennifer also sold her Bel-Air estate for $34 million last October.

    It’s interesting that the Los Angeles mansion meant a lot to its old owners, Isha and Anand. They got married in 2018 and spent a lot of time there when Isha was pregnant in 2022. They had their twins, Krishna and Aditya, in November of that year.

    The Los Angeles mansion holds special memories for the Ambani-Piramal family, but Jennifer and Ben are ready to make new ones in their fancy new home. As they look for a house in New York City, fans are excited to see where they’ll live next. This marks another exciting chapter for one of Hollywood’s most famous couples.

    Ben and Jennifer, known affectionately as Bennifer, started dating in the early 2000s. They got engaged but broke up. More than twenty years later, during the pandemic, they got back together and got married in 2022.
