Lisa Ray On Afreen Afreen: Felt Uncomfortable Sharing Or Celebrating It

Actor Lisa Ray says she wants to be free of her association with iconic Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan song Afreen Afreen. A mix between indie pop and fusion music, the 1996 ghazal track was sung and composed by Khan with lyrics by Javed Akhtar. Lisa Ray, who was a model when she featured in the music video, said she inwardly cringes whenever the song is played as part of her introduction at public events. I have to confess I have felt uncomfortable sharing or celebrating the Afreen Afreen breakthrough video of the 90s and iconic song by maestro #nusratfatehalikhan because I was so strongly identified with it, the 51-year-old said in an Instagram.
