Actor Ahad Raza Mir made his Coke Studio debut yesterday with Waheed Murad’s ‘Ko Ko Korina’ that he sang along with Momina Mustehsan, however, Twitter seems divided over this revamped rendition of the song.
Reactions were mixed, with many lauding the crisp and modern twist to the song while others dissed it, stating it didn’t do justice to the original.
Although people are fond of Ahad's acting skills and he has been winning hearts while romancing actor Sajal Aly in ‘Yakeen Ka Safar’, but Twitterites are not so sure about his singing capabilities.
-I really like #AhadRazaMir but #KokoKorina is nostalgic number aur ussky sath aesa khilwaaar bardaasht nhi hopaeyga! 😑
-Momina's part is 👍#CokeStudio #Season11— Humaira Hanif Khan (@humaira_hanif) October 20, 2018
Wesey I would want to hear more from Ahad Raza Mir before commenting on his Low High notes.
But He is undoubtedly Pyaara and kaafi ziyada Handsome 🙄

On the other hand, Ahad’s co-actor Sajal took to Instagram to praise his efforts to recreate the classic song. “Many actors have lip synced to this song, but for the first time an actor actually sang it! Not an easy task to sing a classic,” she wrote. Ahad and Sajal are one of the most loved on-screen couples, while their fans even wish they become real-life couple off-screen.
