@Fawad: If this is the grace with which you accept praise , i do not know what you will do if someone criticizes you.
veena malik learn something :p
Only the cultural icons can break the walls of hate and make bridges. A great artist is beyond the boundaries and walls. All Pakistanis are proud of her as our national icon. Thanks Indian fans for acknowledging our great heritage.
I have seen Rafi Lata Kishore loved in Pak and even Kumar Sanu , Alka and Sonu Nigam have a big fan following . Its there in youtube. Artists should be welcome in both countries and honored.
gettng an award from India is no big deal, Abida Parveen has recieved awards from all over the world & is obviously phenomenol, infact it is good for Indians that they finally realised her worth and her talent.
