Despite a lack of training institutions, Pakistan is full of singing talents and thanks to the internet, gifted individuals are given some well-deserved attention time and again.

After a Pakistani rickshaw driver managed to win praises from the melody queen Lata Mangeshkar, a street hawker is now ready to give Arijit Singh a run for his money.

The unheard plight of Pakistani playback singers

In a video that is now going viral, the fruit-seller can be seen effortlessly singing Baatein Yeh Kabhi Na from the Bollywood film Khamoshiyan.

It's not only his soulful voice that's mesmerising, but his bright smile is also winning many hearts.



And it seems like he's ready to take up some serious offers, as a lot of music producers have shown interest in working with him.

Titan | 8 years ago | Reply @Red Wine: A big part of Bollywood & its success is in fact the Indian music composed, directed & sung by Indians. So the fact that Bollywood is a zillion times more successful than Pakistani film industry (which also has Pakistani music) & is globally appreciated is a testament to the superiority of Indian music over its Pakistani counterpart as well. BTW, most Indian singers who sing in movies have also released multiple private pop albums.
