Acclaimed actress and wife of Hollywood actor, Will Smith, Jada Pinkett Smith recently posted something on her Instagram that left Pakistanis over the moon!
Jada Pinkett Smith posted a video of a Coke Studio rendition of beloved sufi poem, Chaap Tilak on her insta handle, tagging both Abida Parveen and Rahat Fateh Ali in the caption that read:
“@queenofsoul_ap and @officialrfakworld are two of my favorite vocalist of Sufi music. This song is called Chaap Tilak and you can go on YouTube to check out the lyrics. They are beautiful✨💫.”
Needless to say, the actress’s post left Pakistanis amazingly overwhelmed! But Pakistanis were not the only people who were excited! Even Indian fans sent love Jada’s way for appreciating Abida Parveen and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan.
