However, Pakistani Twitterati was quick to respond Akhtarfor his insensitive remarks about the artists’ struggle.
“Really disappointed in u. The song is not bad at all. Just cuz u didn’t like it, doesn’t mean u have the right to put efforts of singers n producers in the trash,” one user said.

“Oh dear, this is in bad taste. One thing to not like a song, another thing to run down artists, musicians this way,” she commented on Akhtar’s video shared by Hello! Pakistan. “Big fan of Shoaib Akhtar but not the way he’s bashing the new anthem. Some people, including many of your friends, fans and family, like the track.”
“Difference of opinion is welcome, degrading someone’s work isn’t,” she pointed out. “Don’t like the track, cool. Hating on it this way? Not cool.”
After the extreme mocking and hate over the official anthem of Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2021, singer Naseebo Lal finally responds to the criticism in a unique fashion.
The official PSL 6 anthem, “Groove Mera“, features Naseebo Lal, Aima Baig, and Young Stunners.
According to the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), the song refers to the “swing and feel of the movements of cricketers”.
However, when asked how she felt receiving mixed comments from the fans after the anthem’s release, Naseebo Lal sang a few lines and said she feels “truly honoured” to be able to sing for this platform.
No matter whether I receive love or hate, I will not end up singing for my country’s pride, she added.
“This was a unique opportunity for my singing career and I thank God for it. When I was first approached, I had no idea about it and thought it would be just another song. However, when it turned out that it was an ‘item’ song for the PSL, I was surprised.” she exclaimed.
The singer also thanked the producer of the song, Zulfiqar Khan, better known as Xulfi, for bringing something “different and unique to the table.” She also expressed her gratitude to all those who have appreciated her performance.
