New Delhi: On April 17, the duo played Ali’s hit song Pasoori at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival 2023. “What we can’t do over there, we can do here…all kinds of forbidden love reflected here today,” Pakistani musician Ali Sethi stated after singing alongside Indian-American rapper Raja Kumari.
Take a look at the video:
Now this was something big

Whereas the fading of boundaries between both nations is widely praised, netizens tend to be unsatisfied with Raja Kumari’s stint. Some say, Raja Kumari was completely out od sync, whereas some said, she completely ruined the song (Pasoori).
Check out the tweets below:
So here’s the thing. I feel like Raja Kumari may have been a last minute stand-in, she was off-key which was really unfortunate & took away from the whole performance. I don’t know why they did the song twice instead of doing another one of Ali’s many, many amazing songs.

See you are all seething right now. Raja Kumari rapped over a perfectly beautiful Sanwariyo sung by Bhanwari Devi and Youtube crowds literally edited the audio so we now have a version without the rap. Raja Kumari pls stop
