Ali Sethi's mother says doesn't like son's hit song Pasoori

Journalist and former provincial assembly member Syeda Memnat Mohsin, popularly known as Jugnu Mohsin, recently shared her thoughts on her son Ali Sethi’s global hit song Pasoori, and her statement has gone viral.

In an interview, Jugnu Mohsin revealed, "Before Ali Sethi was born, I used to listen to a lot of music. I always kept Qawwali, Raag, and Khyaal in my car. Music was the first thing my two children heard."

She further shared, "I spoke pure Punjabi to my children until they were seven years old, which is why Ali Sethi can sing songs today."

However, when it comes to Ali Sethi and Shae Gill’s Coke Studio Season 14 hit Pasoori, Jugnu Mohsin admitted, "I did not like this song at all."

Recalling a conversation with her son, she said, "When Pasoori hit a billion views, Ali said to me, ‘Mom, I know you don’t like this song.’ I replied, ‘Yes, son, I don’t like this Pasoori; I prefer traditional songs.’"

 Pasoori became the first Coke Studio song to cross one billion streams on YouTube Music and was the most searched song on Google in 2022.

The song, released in Coke Studio Pakistan’s 14th season in 2022, was performed by Ali Sethi and Shae Gill, gaining immense global recognition. The word Pasoori means trouble in Punjabi.
