Amid rising tensions between Pakistan and India, Karachi’s Khudgharz Band has won Indian hearts by performing a heartfelt tribute to the late Indian singer Zubeen Garg during a live concert.
The band performed several of Zubeen’s famous songs at the Karachi concert, receiving immense appreciation from both local fans and Indian audiences across the border who admired their gesture.
In a post shared on Instagram, the band wrote, “Zubeen Garg, you will always be part of our playlist. Accept the message of love from Karachi,” earning applause from Indian nationals.
The video of their tribute quickly went viral on social media platforms, with thousands of Indian users expressing gratitude and admiration for the Pakistani musicians’ respect for their late star.
Indian fans said the performance beautifully reflected Zubeen Garg’s lifelong message that music has no borders, languages, or limits, bringing people together beyond political differences.
One Indian user commented that it was “heartwarming to see Pakistani artists performing so brilliantly on Zubeen’s songs,” calling it a gesture that unites hearts through the power of art.
The performance trended widely on Instagram and X (formerly Twitter), as fans from both countries shared the emotional clips and praised Khudgharz Band for their cross-border musical respect.
Zubeen Garg, 52, tragically passed away while scuba diving in Singapore last month. He had traveled there to perform at the “North East India Festival,” scheduled later that week.
Known for his versatility, Zubeen performed in Hindi, Bengali, and Assamese languages. His breakout Bollywood hit “Ya Ali” from the film Gangster made him a household name across South Asia.
The late singer’s influence continues to inspire musicians globally, and Khudgharz Band’s tribute from Karachi served as a reminder that music remains a universal language of love and unity.
