Very beautiful voice. In this age of Media with plenty of platforms available, he should be given a chance by someone. Atleast @cokestudio should take a notice.

People came out to say he was far more talented than most of the singers right now, yet poverty is a great restraint to anyone’s abilities
He's more melodious than any coke studio singer. Poverty again proofed the biggest curse among humans.

There are many like this – their bread and butter have killed the passion they had 😞

While some people also thought this rickshaw driver Mehdi Hassan fan’s circumstances had more to do with nepotism than with poverty
His dreams didnot shatter due to poverty. Financial crisis could not change his voice. Rather nepotism is a curse which keeps talent at distance.

Some people also offered to help this rickshaw driver fulfill his Mehdi Hassan dreams
Send me his number, let me refer him to some channels and their morning shows. Beautiful vocals!

People were pissed and sad for the lack of opportunities in the country, where talented people like this rickshaw driver Mehdi Hassan fan have no platform to channel it
Let us not blame poverty but a society they has regulated away opportunity. When will we understand?
— Nadeem Haque (@nadeemhaque) November 3, 2019
Talent is universal but not opportunity, sadly.
— Vishwanath Marar (@vishwanathmarar) November 3, 2019
And so, the talent remains ‘hidden.’
What an amazing and hidden talent.
BRAVO👌— Usman (@usmann_090) November 2, 2019
A soothing voice like Qasim Ali’s, is rare and one of a very special kind. Poverty might have not allowed him to pursue his dreams, but nothing can crush his talent and his passion to sing, which is evident through the heartfelt video. Pakistan produces a lot of singers but singers like Mehdi Hassan sahab are rare, and people can see his reflection through this rickshaw driver, Qasim Ali. It’s unfortunate how so many talented people live their lives without given even a single opportunity to express and prove themselves.
