Twitter users, on Wednesday, took it upon themselves to educate Gen Z about a living legend. It all began when a tweep shared a TikTok video of a woman stepping out of a Lamborghini and hummed to the famous Bollywood song, Lamborghini Chalai Janey O to a famous Punjabi tappa tune.
The Twitter user tried his hand at humour and wrote, "Imagine you’re trying to do your rukhsati but you get outside and see some auntie doing this at your car." The woman in the video was none other than iconic singer Shazia Manzoor.

This tweet seemingly hit a nerve as Pakistani Twitter went on to school the user about 'some auntie' he had mentioned earlier. Many took to the micro-blogging website and took a jibe at the original tweep.
"The fact that Shazia Manzoor looks exactly the same since the 90s and just did this absolute boss move with this car makes this an especially ridiculous tweet. He just discovered about Shazia Manzoor. Under which rock was he living before?" wrote a user.

"Dude I'm so much disappointed by this," said another user. "She is a dream to meet, how yummy her music is, how unique how impossible it is to find another Shazia Manzoor. Let me introduce her to everyone and let's remember her glory."

One more pointed out, "Sir this is not some aunty it is THE Shazia Mansoor." Another shared, "Bro please don't delete this tweet ever! The reactions here are just so epic Face with tears of joy (i am so sorry for being insensitive here; as mostly they are roasting you but it was fun read). Really appreciate your naivety that triggered this trend."

A user quipped, "So embarrassing knowing our Pakistani brother does not know Shazia Mansoor. Our generation is a mess, praying Allah guides us."

The reactions to the tweep's lack of knowledge about knowing a living legend just didn't stop. So much so, that the trolling propelled him to offer a 'formal apology.' "I’d like to formally apologise to Pakistani Twitter for not knowing about Shazia Mansoor," the user took a dig. "To make up for it, I’ll be making myself and my wife (who was also disappointed in me) listen to her music on repeat. I’ll get back to y’all when I know her songs by heart."

But what many didn't know was how active the veteran singer has been on TikTok! With over 27,000 followers, the Chan Mere Makhna crooner has been sharing glimpses of what she has been up to. From tours to impromptu jamming sessions, Shazia has been treating her fans with a number of videos!
Her TikTok account (shaziamanzoorofficial) gives her fans an insight into her daily life, her live performances, the tours and some fun collaborations. Shazia's TikTok account just might be the best thing we've seen today!
