Actor-singer Junaid Khan covers Mehdi Hassan’s popular song

Popular actor and the lead vocalist of Call, Junaid Khan is making good use of the ‘free’ time he’s got during lockdown.

The multi-faceted artist from Lahore, best known for his music albums ‘Jilawatan’ and ‘Dhoom’, not to mention a host of successful TV plays including Mehreen Jabbar’s ‘Mata-e-Jaan Hai Tu’, Hum TV’s ‘Yahan Pyar Nahi Hai’ in which he shared screen space with Saba Qamar and Mawra Hocane, and Hira Mani-led Firaaq, has just come out with a cover of (the late) ghazal maestro Mehdi Hassan’s ‘Zindagi Mein Toh Sabhi Pyar Kiya Kartay Hain’.

Khan wanted to pay a tribute to the legendary Hassan on the latter’s death anniversary (June 13). So he prepared the cover while in lockdown, fine-tuned it and released it on his official channel on YouTube.
