Ayesha Omar recently announced that she is dropping her latest track.
Har Koi Yaar Nahi offers the scenic beauty of Gilgit-Baltistan’s mountains and icy lakes.
The 41-year-old diva has ventured into the music industry with her magical voice.
Actress Ayesha Omar is a formidable talent in Lollywood, whether she is acting, singing, or modelling.
After an unofficial hiatus of nearly eight years, the 41-year-old diva, who has made her way into the music business with her enchanted voice, is giving her fans a gift once more.
The renowned Bulbulay actress recently said that her newest song, Har Koi Yaar Nahi, would be released soon. The song features the picturesque splendour of Gilgit-mountains Baltistan and cold lakes.
The song serves as a proclamation of self-love, enabling listeners to establish connections with nature, themselves, and their Creator.
“When I was arranging my October birthday vacation to GILGIT-BALTISTAN, my favourite region in Pakistan, it dawned on me that I should chronicle that trip in some form,” the Habs diva wrote in a long, heartfelt Instagram message to her friends and followers. I considered creating a vlog because I wanted to showcase my favourite country’s breathtaking beauty to the globe. I did, however, write a song and film the music video there one night. Where better than in Gilgit? Lenny Massey, who has been attempting to get me back into singing for years, was phoned, and I explained my plan to him. He agreed and replied, “Let’s do it!” He had agreed to accompany me to the mountains, so I talked him into it.
“I decided to write about my own journey and relationship with my Creator, with the support of Zaheer bhai, and give it a Sufi touch, inspired by the great poet Baba Bulleh Shah, because I felt that this song had to be special. In fact, the title is taken from one of his verses that I particularly like. In my home, it is also printed on a tray. I met Alex Shabaz after Lenny introduced us, and I told him about my notion and idea. He instantly joined the team as well. I then discussed the idea with director and photographer Afnan Karim, whom I had first met in Hunza a year earlier.
He was SOLD as well. Before I travelled for HUNZA (Gilgit-Baltistan), I had 10 days to write the song and record it.
Omar thanked her staff and said, “And we succeeded, thanks to my fantastic team!! For the video, I haphazardly put together some jackets and boots and spent two days filming it in various locations. We would get up early, get ready on our own quickly (while my friends fell asleep after a night of drinking), drive to the sites, go up and trek for hours while carrying clothing, water, and snacks, and shoot to the background of barely audible music. My Hunza lads, however, are the BEST. extremely kind and patient! They are now a family. And what an AMAZING video they produced. Fahyeem bhai, Maza aa gaya. Uffffffff.”
The song is “HAR KOI YAAR NAHIN,” a song which is coming from the core of my being. I hope you all fall in love with the song, your Creator, your Country and most importantly, YOURSELF, she said.
The song, in Ayesha Omar‘s words, “comes from the core, showing the beautiful beauty of the land, created, envisioned, and manifested,” and is “extremely near to her heart and soul.”
Despite the actress’s accolades for her singing and musical endeavours, social media users’ reactions to the song’s release were split.
Omar’s recent acting credits include Mera Dard Bayzuban, Kitni Girhain Baaki Hain 2, Phir Bulbulay, Bulbulay (season 2), Bisaat, and Habs. He is now developing Selahaddin Eyyubi.
