Coke Studio's season 9 just released its second episode and it features Rahat Fateh Ali Khan singing Afreen Afreen with Momina Mustehsan. If you're a Pakistani and you listen to music, it is but natural that you'll have an opinion on this song.
Coke Studio 9: The collaborations are not working
A Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan original can never go unnoticed especially if it is being featured on such a grand platform.
Here's how fans reacted to Coke Studio's Afreen:
@cokestudio please leave the classics alone. It doesnt matter how good the singers individually are. NFAK is untouchable.

But there are some who appreciated the track
@cokestudio How quickly time passes. It seems Nusrat sb was singing this song only a few days back. May Nusrat Sb RIP. Thumbs up Rahat & Co.
