Indian pop sensation Alisha Chinai recently captivated the audience at a London concert by performing the timeless hit Aap Jaisa Koi. The song, originally sung by the late Pakistani pop icon Nazia Hassan, remains a classic. Known for her Indi-pop albums and playback singing in Hindi cinema, Alisha thrilled fans with her heartfelt rendition of the iconic track.
A video of the event soon went viral on social media. It showed Alisha Chinai elegantly dressed in silk attire as she passionately sang the beloved lyrics, Aap Jaisa Koi Mere Zindagi Mein Aaye. Meanwhile, the audience erupted with excitement, cheering and singing along, which created a lively and joyous atmosphere.
However, the performance sparked mixed reactions online. While some praised Alisha for honoring Nazia Hassan, others offered criticism. Many called it a touching tribute to the legendary singer from across the border. They admired her effort to recreate the magic of a song that still holds a special place in millions of hearts. For instance, one social media user wrote, “Only Alisha can cover this song from India,” expressing admiration for her tribute to the late star.
On the other hand, some critics felt the performance didn’t match Nazia Hassan’s unparalleled rendition. One user commented, “Duniya ki koi bhi awaaz Nazia ki awaaz ke barabar nahi aa sakti. She was the One and Only Nightingale of Pakistan,” emphasizing the irreplaceable charm of the original singer’s voice.
Despite divided opinions, Alisha’s performance underscored the enduring legacy of Nazia Hassan’s music. By revisiting Aap Jaisa Koi decades after its release, Alisha rekindled the song’s timeless magic. Her tribute serves as a reminder of how iconic music transcends borders and continues to unite listeners, creating shared moments of joy and nostalgia.
