KARACHI: Pakistani singer Zeb who have contributed her voice in a bollywood movie ‘Highway’ hasn’t been given credit by Indian Music Company T-series.

Zeb has sung song ‘Sooha Saha’ in ‘Highway’ along with bollywood newbie Alia Bhatt but the credit has only been given to Alia Bhatt for her singing debut.

According to local media, “The Indian music company scraped off her name from the official website as well. The song’s popularity drove many viewers to YouTube, where the music credit has only been awarded to Alia Bhatt, director Imtiaz Ali and music director AR Rahman. Zeb’s fans all across the world have showed resistance towards the Indian music company and have demanded her name to be included in the song’s credits”.

A source also revealed that Indian Music Company want to block Pakistani singer from entering bollywood due to their emerging popularity.

Bollywood director/ producer Mahesh Bhatt who is also the father of Alia Bhatt said, “As far as Zeb and my daughter’s song is concerned, I believe that the credit should go to both of them. If the uploaded version of the song only has Alia’s name in the credits, then it is utterly wrong. I will speak to the T-series authorities regarding this matter and soon there will be a positive conclusion,” media reported.

“I have always worked for the stability of the relationship between India and Pakistan. I would never want that a Pakistani artiste or singer credit to be given to someone else,” Bhatt added.
