Hollywood actor Jada Pinkett Smith took to Instagram to share her appreciation for renowned Pakistani stars Abida Parveen and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan.
Posting the Coke Studio video of the two artists performing Chaap Tilakshe wrote, “Abida Parveen and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan are two of my favourite vocalists of Sufi music. This song is called Chaap Tilak and you can go on YouTube to check out the lyrics. They are beautiful.”
Not only did she announce her love for Sufi music, Jada also called the two singers her favourite. The Bad Moms star then urged followers to read the song’s lyrics – a poem by Amir Khusro.
Unsurprisingly, fans rushed to the comments section to share their thoughts. “One of the many things I love about you sis , is how you use your platform to share, educate and encourage us all to broaden our scope,” stated one user, showing their appreciation for the 47-year-old star.
Others wrote, “I don’t understand the language but I can feel the soul and pulse in it. Music is beautiful like that” and “Wow. This just shifted my vibration. Amazing. Give thanks.”
