Zoheb Hassan slams unauthorised use of his song ‘Dosti’ in ‘Sinf e Aahan’
Veteran pop singer Zoheb Hassan has taken to Twitter to call out the use of his and sister Nazia Hassan’s song Dosti in the ISPR drama serial Sinf e Aahan. Claiming a violation of intellectual property, the singer wrote on the social media site alongside a video clip of the song being performed in the serial, “When will Pakistan abide by others’ copyright and intellectual property rights?”

Dosti was used in the latest episode of Sinf e Aahan, performed by the characters of Syra Yousuf and Yehali Tashiya to an auditorium packed with other students in the army academy around which the serial is based.
The situation was later resolved, with Zoheb tweeting, "I am pleased to offer our song Dosti to PSL. It will feature along with Disco Deewane as a special Tribute to my (late) sister Nazia Hassan at the PSL Closing Ceremony in Karachi."
