Pakistani Celebrities Praise Arooj Aftab’s Grammy win

Arooj Aftab, a Pakistani musician, has won her first Grammy for her song Mohabbat in the Best Global Performance category, prompting congratulations and greetings from a number of Pakistani officials and celebrities.

With this achievement, the Brooklyn-based vocalist becomes the first Pakistani musician to get the award at the world’s most prestigious music event.

“I’m astonished,” the vocalist remarked “While getting her prize, I’m afraid I’m going to pass out. This category has been insane in and of itself, in my opinion “She revealed that she had made everything that had broken her and put her back together.

Many Pakistani Celebrities Mahira Khan, Ali Zafar, Saba Qamar, Hadiqa Kiani, and Adnan Siddiqui congratulated Arooj on winning the top music award, as she rocked minimalism, Sufi, Jazz, and other genres in her work.
