Speaking of Pakistani singers who use drugs to bolster their voices, he said, “Some singers are using drugs (hash) for bolstering voices, but it’s their misconception that it helps bolster the throat; those singers are imitating a few big singers (from the past) who used to have a hash, but those big singers had a proper diet regimen. They didn’t utilize drugs without eating a healthy diet, after all. The hash is also bad since it dries out the throat. The other tool used by singers is healthy for the voice and throat; it’s acceptable for singers to consume alcohol (water), as it enhances the voice. Now, a lot of actors also drink water, but a lot of singers as well.”
