The Chic Magazine appears to have been the first to flag a seismic swap in Sahir Ali Bagga’s track Mastani, with social feeds now buzzing over Afshan Fawad stepping into vocals previously associated with Aima Baig.
Comment section from the magazines Hello Pakistan and Galaxy Lollywood show fans split between shock, curiosity and conspiracy theories, as one fan writes: “Aima Baig kay sitaray ajkal gardish main hain” while another writes “Missing my melodious #QueenAimaBaig”.
Was this a creative pivot, a scheduling snag, or an explosive behind-the-scenes fallout? If we put our speculative hat on, we can assume creative differences, maybe last-minute creative notes needed a different vocal texture, contractual rails misaligned, or a creative clash led producers to press ‘record’ on Plan B. Whatever the reason, the replacement has supercharged the internet’s gossip engine.
The powerhouse vocalist, the Baazi and Na Cher Malangan Nu singer rose from TV talent shows to blockbuster soundtracks and international collaborations.
She is known for her vocal agility and bold style, stands as a defining voice of Pakistan’s pop landscape as her songs have made into blockbusters Teefa in Trouble and Lahore Se Aagay, and remains a force regardless of one song’s fate. The three Lux Style and a Tamgha-e-Fakhre-Imtiaz awardee is everywhere and still rising.
