Ali Zafar broke hearts last night when he announced that he’s busy with work commitments and couldn’t make it to the closing ceremony of the Pakistan Super League
Contrary to the news, I won't be performing at the PSL closing ceremony. It is indeed a big moment, hope we get to celebrate in safety.

He had said he was busy with work but would be at the match and the closing ceremony in spirit
After all he has written and sung the PSL anthem this year.
1/2 I remember the moment while writing the lyrics "phir stage sajay ga" wishing our stadiums would once again experience the magic 🙂

To the extent of calling him out for his refusal to perform as an India-appeasing move
Whatever that means.
@AliZafarsays if it were IPL, you would have gladly performed. If only you were asked to do so ?

Well, Ali Zafar heard all that anger and disappointment and he has changed his mind about performing at the PSL Closing Ceremony
You all mean the world to me. Performing tomorrow 🙂 Phir seeti bajay gi, stage sajay ga #AbKhelJamayGa. Let's do this! Pakistan Zindabad.
