1. If you could meet anyone in the world dead or alive who would it be and what would you say to them?

Ho Mann Jahaan’s ‘Shakar Wandaan’ is on replay! It’s great to see Pakistani music being popular and catchy. Also on the list is ‘Happy’ by Pharrell Williams.

Attractive and die in a year, only because I really don’t want to live forever.

My Fair Lady.
