Indian singer Shilpa Rao, who performed with the Pakistani band Noori in the famous song Paar Chanaa De on Pakistan’s Coke Studio in the past, has explained why she thinks Pakistan’s Coke Studio is better than India’s.
Shilpa Rao is a well-known singer who has sung many popular Bollywood songs. She has also performed on Coke Studio India and other music shows.
In Coke Studio Pakistan Season 9, she sang Paar Chanaa De with Noori, and people praised her singing.
A few months ago, she spoke on an Indian TV show about the difference between Coke Studio Pakistan and India. That video has recently gone viral, and her reply surprised many people.
In the same show, Shilpa Rao also said that Farida Khanum and Iqbal Bano are her favorite singers. She also said that Dasht-e-Tanhai and Hum Dekhenge are among her favorite songs.
During the show, the host asked her why Pakistan’s Coke Studio is better than India’s. He admitted that Pakistan’s music, poetry, lighting, and set design are all better.
Shilpa Rao answered that for Pakistanis, Coke Studio is a very important and central project. That is why their Coke Studio is better.
She explained that in India, Coke Studio is not given much importance. It is treated like just another project, while in Pakistan, people take it very seriously.
After her comments, some people were upset with her and said she should respect Pakistani talent instead of making fun of it.
