Jal is one of the most iconic bands in Pakistan’s history. They will always be remembered for their great music as well as the breakups and controversies between members fighting as long as their name shall live. Jal first broke up when Atif aslam went solo and later on it broke up when Farhan Saeed started his solo career.
Goher Mumtaz was a guest on Freebisd Music Entertainment YouTube and talked about his musical journey as well as the band breaking up several times. Speaking about Farhan Saeed, he said he met him through a friend after Atif Aslam left and according to Goher, Farhan Saeed was not actually needed in the band as he himself was a vocalist as well. He also added that he had to work hard to get Farhan registered with the audience. Farhan was singing the old album songs at the start and he was not very confident. Gohar then made a few songs for him to get his confidence up.
Here is what he shared about not needing Farhan in Jal:
Goher went on to say that Farhan Saeed left Jal as he wanted to become another Atif Aslam. He had told Farhan that Atif became a star as he left at the right time and no one else can become another Atif. He further went on to say that it was hurtful to lose a singer who he had worked on and he had made a star out of despite Farhan having a very below average voice.
