India’s Shreya Ghoshal is a fan of the legendary Sajjad Ali

The renowned playback singer expressed her love for 'Pardes' on Instagram

Sajjad Ali is one of the few artists of Pakistan who has garnered a global fanbase over his decades-long career. With his soul-touching music and soothing voice, the Har Zulm singer has touched the hearts of many people, including Bollywood playback singer Shreya Ghoshal.

Earlier this week, the Indian musician took to her Instagram and praised Ali's famous song, Pardes, from his latest album, Aatish. "Sajjad Ali is extraordinary! Listening to this song on a loop. After a long time, a song and a video have touched my heart so deeply," penned Ghoshal, while sharing a screenshot of Pardes' music video.

The Piya O Re Piya singer also lauded Ali on his Instagram handle by commenting on his post, which featured Pardes' official music video, dating back to July, 2022. "This song has touched my soul deeply. I discovered it two days ago and have been listening to it on a loop ever since with a tug in my heart. Thank you for your many beautiful creations, but this one hit hard," wrote Ghoshal, adding a heart emoji at the end.

This is not the first time an Indian artist has showered praise on the Tum Naraz Ho hitmaker. In 2020, Sonu Nigam crossed paths with Ali at a digital live concert and expressed his admiration for the Pakistani star online. "One of the most respected singers and musicians of all times, and my personal favourite Sajjad Ali was there too with his son," penned the vocalist on Instagram.

Ghoshal is also a prominent singer in India and beyond. Her latest work includes Maine Pi Rakhi Hai from the Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar, Jab Saiyaan in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's much-acclaimed film, Gangubai Kathiawadi.

On the other hand, Ali has released countless singles over the years, including Tasveer Bana Ke, and Salami, Door Gayon, Chehray from the album released in 2022.
