His song is currently number 11 on the list. 

Looks like the Tera Who Pyaar crooner’s following is only growing, especially after he sang Humraah for Bollywood’s Malang. His voice, however, had to be replaced in the official track due to the degrading Pak-India relations. But his own version, which came out later, earned him quite the fame and numbers.

Prior to making it big on Spotify, Azhar had revealed that Ghalat Fehmi was trending number 2 in India a year after its release. “Tarasti hain nigaahe meri takti hain raahain teri, chahiye pana teri. Ghalat Fehmi is trending in India after a year of its release... art surely has no boundaries and that’s beautiful,” tweeted the singer.

The track recorded 50 million views on YouTube till the filing of this report. The original film version of Ghalat Fehmi is co-sung by Azhar and Zenab Fatima Sultan. Shakeel Sohail and A.M. Turaz penned its lyrics while Azaan Sami Khan and Saad Sultan provided its music.
