Pakistani and Indian music lovers praised the song.
Nowadays, a clip of Paar Channa De singer is doing rounds on social media in which her jealous tone for Coke Studio Pakistan is under scrutiny.
On The Lallantop Show host’s question, “Why is Pakistani Coke Studio better than Indian one?” She replied, “For them, that is what the whole year is, that is their main thing. Coke Studio is not our main thing in India. There is another reason behind this, we should celebrate our desi culture more like South Indians who use all their desi beats proudly” Here is the link to the video:
Social media users have been heavily criticizing Shilpa Rao for her jealous remarks about Pakistani Coke Studio.

One user said, “As an African, I never realized how jealous India is of Pakistan.” Another stated, “As a Bangladeshi, when it comes to music, poetry, fast bowling, drama, and the air force, Pakistan always rocks.” An Indian added, “I’m Indian, but I can proudly say nothing is better than Coke Studio Pakistan in terms of music.” A fan wrote, “Jealousy at its peak.” A Bangladeshi fan shared, “As a Bangladeshi, I’ve noticed that all the talented people are in Pakistan—actors, singers. Pakistan is full of talented individuals. When it comes to music and drama, Pakistani content hits differently.” A Pakistani commented, “This isn’t even our main thing. We produce music all year round for dramas. Each of our dramas has its own original soundtrack.” Read the comments:
